U.S. Navy Patrol Aircraft with Ground Crew, NAS Kaneohe Bay, Korean War Era

This faded color film still, drawn from home-movie footage taken at Naval Air Station Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, shows a U.S. Navy twin-engine patrol aircraft on the flight line during the Korean War era, tended by ground crew. Part of the Lt. Bancroft collection, the image reflects the vital, often unglamorous work of naval aviation support personnel who kept patrol squadrons operational in the Pacific. Project: 218016
