Historical information

Collection includes a large number of large-format unidentified negatives, as well as photos of paratroopers jumping from RAAF aircraft and a variety of civilian and military aircraft from the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. There is also a photo of Australian soldiers posing around a shot down German aircraft during the First World War.

Significance

Many of these photos appear to be very rare, and feature good captions which help to identify the aircraft, units and even crewmen being photographed.
