The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: McAleer Part c
Camaraderie is the through line of this selection from the McAleer family album, where aircrews pose beside folded-wing fighters and radial engines while friends sail small boats, muster among pyramidal tents, and share a drink between missions. Handwritten names and later annotations turn casual snapshots into an intimate roster of wartime service.
