The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 2
Kept by a French aviator during the First World War, this album pairs portraits of officers in fur flying coats and the collapsed framework of a downed airship with village weddings, circle dances, and traditional Balkan dress. It records both the emerging world of military aviation and the cultural encounters of airmen serving far from the Western Front.
