The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 4
The Margaroli family collection gathers the home-front keepsakes a B-24 Liberator belly gunner carried through the war: Christmas postcards and a 1944 servicemen's dinner menu, a radio station letter, taxi and dairy advertising cards, and family portraits stretching back to the 1920s. Small and ordinary, these items restore the personal world behind a bomber crewman's military service.
