The Don Englebreston Collection
Gallery: Photos from family
Keepsakes from the DeTar family collection: a sepia-toned portrait sketch of Dean DeTar smiling from his cockpit, and nine airmen posed before their aircraft under hand-painted "Iron Horse / Maiden Lane" nose art. Hand-drawn portraits and group photographs taken in front of an assigned aircraft were cherished traditions of wartime service, holding onto both the camaraderie of squadron life and the identity crews gave their machines.
