THE NAVAL AVIATION V-S Physical Training Manuals were prepared and published during World War Il to provide the best standardized instruction in the sports selected to give the youths, training to be combat Naval pilots, the maximum physical and psychological benefits. It was the first time that intensive athletic training was used militarily, not only for conditioning and recreation, but to develop and intensify desired qualities, such as quick reaction, coordination, accurate timing, cool judgment, aggressiveness, and determination. This volume, one of ten, focuses specifically on boxing.
