The Snapshots in Time Collection

Gallery: DAMAGED NEGATIVES

Deteriorated color negatives from the Kotec China-Burma-India collection preserve rare glimpses of World War II air operations GÇö B-25 Mitchells on snowy airfields, jeeps and Army launches, parades and troop reviews. Chemical damage has left rainbow staining and emulsion loss across these frames, yet the images still document the airmen, aircraft, and ceremonies of American wartime service.
