Description
These 4 photo prints are printed from the same negative. They were taken by an Army photographer and he has commented on the exposure of each. These prints are the last in a collection that I had that this Army photography took in the Aleutian Islands, most of they were dated 1946. So these are dated from 1946, even thought eBay's category is 1945. You get all 4 of the prints. Each measures the same size, about 5 by 4 inches.The aircraft is the Consolidated PBY Catalina. These were used extensively in most theaters of World War 2. After the war some commercial airlines used them as passenger planes. The Alaska Coastal Airlines in Southeastern Alaska had 2 of these, and I had the opportunity to fly in them twice in the 1950s (yes, I am that old). These planes were not built for comfort. They were noisy and felt like they would shake apart. Also, they were amphibious.
