The diafilm text read,"Young friends of aviators and astronauts! - Here we are! - Here they are, light-blue flying-caps. And ribbons on shoulder-marks are light-blue too." For some reason the boy pictured does not have a light-blue cap. Apparently a Young friends of aviators and astronauts was not handy for the photographic shoot. The Soviet Union launched Sputnik (1957). It resulted in a great deal of interest in space around the world, especially in the Soviet Union. Apparently there was a special Young Pioneer program. We note the term "Young Friends" used with several Pioneer programs. A Russian reader writes, "Young Pioneers also had a "blue patrol", who kept an eye around lakes and rivers. They wore light-blue flying-caps too."
