Description

Original WWII-era U.S. Army Air Forces novelty photograph, circa early–mid 1940s. Measures approximately 3 ½ × 5 inches, the most desirable snapshot size for WWII-era photography. Shows a staged, intentionally inverted training aircraft resting directly on snow, a known morale-photo setup used at American air bases during World War II. These photos were commonly taken by servicemen as humorous keepsakes during flight training. This is not a real crash scene, but a posed novelty photograph showing a mother and son posing in front. Exact air base and aircraft type are unknown. Photo is offered as found and unaltered. Excellent WWII aviation and military ephemera collectible. WWII photo, USAAF, World War II aviation, military novelty photo, pilot training, air base souvenir, 1940s photograph, military ephemera Some age related wear consistent with period photography, as shown in the pictures.
