The following site shows some wonderful Kodacrome transparencies from the WWII era, including a number of the manufacture of aircraft. Enjoy, because I did.

Great photos and the quality is just excellent. Digital photography is fine, but I've never seen thisquality on a digital shot of these types of subjects.
Thanks for sharing the link.

And it will be another couple of decades before you do. The resolution and color saturation of a 4 x 5 Kodachrome would be the approximate equivalent of a 80-90,000 megapixal chip. And that's just doing some crude math comparison. Even the professional large format digital cameras are nowhere near that capacity.

Great shots, the bottom one of the family in Pie Town, NM is part of a set I've seen before. Was through Pie Town about year ago and it looked (other then newer vehicles) almost the same. Suprised its still surviving at all.
