Scrapbook Page: Greenwood Airport Hangar Formation and Host-Family Portraits, Greenwood, South Carolina
Beyond the flight line, aviation cadets built lasting ties with the civilian communities that hosted them during World War II. This page pairs a formation photograph of cadets and instructors at Johnson's Flying Service — the contract airfield in Greenwood, South Carolina, that provided primary flight instruction — with informal portraits of the host families, including the Grady and Coady families, who opened their homes to trainees far from their own.
