The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 1
Spanning World War II to the Cold War, this selection ranges from a B-24 Liberator over coastal terrain and the rare Douglas XB-28 "Dragon" prototype to the F-100 Super Sabre above the clouds, the A4D-1 Skyhawk, the C-124 Globemaster II, and the T-38 Talon. A 1967 Naval Aviation News designation chart and a caption card flagging a P-40 movie-set image show the archival work of identifying what the camera captured.
