The Snapshots in Time Collection
Scrapbook Page with Aerial, Cockpit, and Street Photographs, Edward P. McAleer Collection
This scrapbook page from the personal collection of Marine aviator Edward P. McAleer combines training and personal photographs: an air-to-air shot of a trainer aircraft in flight, a close-up of an SNJ/AT-6 trainer's cockpit with two occupants, and a street photograph of servicemen and a companion, possibly taken in Washington, D.C. Together these images sketch the arc of a naval aviator's experience, from flight training to moments of personal connection away from the airfield. Project: 218136
