This page from a WWII-era personal photo album belonging to a U.S. Navy serviceman juxtaposes the leisure imagery of wartime Hawaii — a Diamond Head vista and a souvenir 'hula girl' portrait — with an operational snapshot of naval aviation: two flight-suited aircrew inspecting a single-engine radial fighter on a Pacific airfield ramp. Such albums, assembled by sailors and airmen passing through Oahu en route to the front, capture both the exotic allure of the islands to mainland servicemen and the everyday routines of carrier and land-based air operations during the Pacific War.
