The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: McAleer Part d
Photographs and scrapbook pages from the McAleer family record American advance bases in the Pacific, where Marston Mat walkways, squad tents, Corsairs, and captured Japanese guns defined the island-hopping campaign. Clippings that follow the same young aviators into the Korean War give the collection an unusual reach across two conflicts.
