The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 1
Mid-century snapshots move between Fort Knox, where a chapel, guest house, and preserved Chaffee and Patton tanks mark the home of the Armor School, and the flight line of Boeing C-97 Stratofreighter 22625. A downtown clock tower and a variety-store lunch counter round out this portrait of 1950s military and civilian life.
