The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 2
Photographs from the 312th Bombardment Group's wartime collection range from candid village portraits in New Guinea and collected moth specimens to aircraft nose art, a crash-landed A-20G Havoc, and the group's squadron insignia chart. A candlelit field memorial service for airmen killed or missing lends the collection its most solemn note.
