About this Item
Oblong octavo measuring 10" x 7". String-tied blue leather over stiff paper boards with "photographs" stamped in gilt on the front board. Contains 68 sepia-toned of black and white silver gelatin photographs measuring between 2" x 3" and 3" x 5" with some captions on the verso. Good only album with worn edges, chips, and rubbing with about very good or better photographs. A small photo album kept by an Air Corpsman serving during World War II. The photos begin with two men smiling for the camera one in an airman uniform the other in a naval uniform. Other photos from leave show a uniform clad young man posed by his car and beside his mother. Following this are photos from an unidentified airbase with men in flight suits posed with their spitfires and fellow airmen. The most interesting part of the album features photographs from the cockpit of a plane with views of the interior and aerial shots. The last few pages of the album depict a female officer, presumably a WAC, who the compiler is seen flirting with. A modest but interesting collection on World War II amateur aviation photography.
