This is an original and unpublished personal aerial photograph from the 1920s, capturing a striking overhead view of US Army Air Corps biplanes stationed on an airfield. Measuring 8cm x 10cm, this remarkable print offers a rare elevated perspective, likely taken from another aircraft or a high vantage point, showcasing multiple biplanes arranged on the ground. The image probably features prominent pursuit or training aircraft of the era, such as Curtiss P-1 Hawks, Boeing PW-9s, or Thomas-Morse MB-3s, lined up along the flight line or dispersed across the airfield.

 

The composition highlights the scale and organization of Air Corps operations during the interwar period, with visible details including hangars, support vehicles, and possibly ground crew attending to the aircraft. The 1920s were a critical decade for military aviation, as the Air Corps expanded its capabilities and infrastructure, and this photograph provides a unique glimpse into the daily life and logistical planning of a typical Army airfield of the time.

 

As an unpublished personal photograph, this piece retains complete authenticity, free from commercial reproduction or alteration. The condition shows expected age-related characteristics, including slight tonal shifts and minor edge wear, but the image remains clear and well-composed. This artifact is an exceptional find for collectors of military aviation history, particularly those interested in airfield operations, early Air Corps infrastructure, or the golden age of biplane aviation.
