*** See my other auctions for more military aviation related photographs for sale *** I have begun the process of selling a portion of my own personal collection of aviation related photographs which I have amassed over a period of 30+ years. Check my auctions regularly as I will be listing as time permits. The vast majority of these photos are all period original prints, and archival images from the 40's, 50's and 60's era. All of this material is old and I work to describe and present everything I sell as accurately as possible. If you have questions as to the exact vintage of a photo, or any other questions about the images you see, then please do ask. I have a large amount of material to sell and I do anticipate this will take years to market and move into the hands of fellow collectors, but the time has come. I hope you find something that enhances your collection ~ thanks for bidding!
