The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 6
Snapshots and documents from the personal album of Marine aviator Edward P. McAleer trace wartime service from Civilian Pilot Training in California to jungle camps, wrecked armor, and tropical beaches across the Pacific. A squadron commander's New Year message and a much-forwarded envelope add the paper trail behind a life in constant motion.
