The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 2
Naval aviation takes the foreground in these pages from Edward P. McAleer's album, from an air-to-air Hellcat snapshot and a ditched aircraft awaiting salvage off Kwajalein to Avenger training at NAS Santa Barbara and a Bearcat banking with underwing rockets. Briefings at the mission status board and candid tent-camp portraits fill in the daily rhythm behind the flying.
