The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 1
From flight school trainees beside a fabric-covered biplane to armorers loading .50 caliber belts on a USAAF flight line, these images follow American airmen from training into service. Scrapbook pages from the McAleer collection extend the story to VMF-112 Corsairs and a Mustang pilot in Korea.
