The Snapshots in Time Collection
Album Page: Sandbag Revetment Portrait and Navy Aviator with Single-Engine Aircraft, McAleer Collection, WWII Pacific
This album page from the Edward P. McAleer collection pairs an informal beach portrait of servicemen at a Pacific island base with a photograph of a naval aviator posed on the wing of a single-engine carrier aircraft. Together they illustrate both the downtime and operational life of U.S. Navy airmen during World War II's Pacific campaign. Project: 218186
