The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 2
Bombers, fighters, and heavy transports of the 1940s and 1950s gather here in air-to-air and flight-line photographs, from the record-setting B-29 "Pacusan Dreamboat" and the gull-winged F4U Corsair to the Globemaster II, Stratofreighter, and C-123 Provider. Together they trace the shift from wartime aviation to the airlift and jet training fleets of the early Cold War.
