The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 2
Spanning the years from prewar pursuit fighters to the jet age, these aircraft photographs range across a Curtiss P-36 in pre-1942 insignia, a B-25 Mitchell and A-26 Invader, a captured German Arado Ar 196 seaplane, and Cold War types including the B-47 Stratojet, KC-97, T-33, and C-124 Globemaster II. Together they trace how American airpower transformed within a single generation.
