The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 1
The making of a naval aviator, told through Edward P. McAleer's earliest photographs: Piper Cub trainers and Civilian Pilot Training classes, rope climbs and labor details, cadet group portraits, and a first Corsair at Santa Barbara. These images capture the pride and camaraderie of American airmen before they reached the Pacific.
