R Michael Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share #56 Posted January 23, 2010 a quick scan from a roll of negatives that was taken by a 101st trooper. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Michael Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share #57 Posted January 28, 2010 A very recent Ebay pickup.. A grouping that was supposedly taken by George Lait of the 11th AB on New Guinea 1944. I have no doubt thses are 11th AB troopers on N.G. as for them being taken by George Lait it appears to be that could have been..

R Michael Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share #58 Posted February 19, 2010 Thought I would post one scan from a grouping I picked up today at the SoS. It concicts of 2 contact sheets of 2 rolls of 35mm negatives along with the actual negatives of a bombadier of the 44th bomb group 66th bomb squad. It even came with his name. :thumbsup: Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyhistorian01 Posted February 20, 2010 Share #59 Posted February 20, 2010 Here are some scans of a negative grouping. It appears to be after VE/VJ day as there aren't any 50 cals in the B-17. Anyone have any idea on the one with the meatball? post WWII Japanese. Mike I would like to first say how much I enjoy your photos. Finding slides is great. I have a few color slides my dad took in Korea in around 1950-51 time frame. I also have a pretty decent size collection of original photos as well as some wartime negatives. As far as the pic of the B-25 with the meatball. It could be a captured aircraft that was sent to a Japanese airfield for testing and eventual reuse by their air force and was then recaptured by our forces when the airfield was captured or surrendered at the end of the war I have some photos of captured German aircraft with British and US insignia painted on them that were captured in North Africa and I know the Germans captured and used allied aircraft so I am guessing the Japanese did the same.

Robert Thanks Robert and am glad you enjoy the history I am preserving. AS for the B-25 I think it turned out to be a Brit. I have also enjoyed your postings and always look forward to more! Here are some more scans, this time from the actual negatives, from that grouping I snagged today. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Michael Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share #69 Posted April 14, 2010 Here is a nice single color slide I picked up on a "buy it now". Looks like it is possibly 1948-49 as it doesn't look like there is an SSI on the blouse. He obviously been around from looking at the rack.

vicjoy1945 Posted April 15, 2010 Share #71 Posted April 15, 2010 Hi ! Fantastic photos ! I'm curious as to the equipment you are using and what is the process for preserving these images. I have a number of negatives that my Dad had taken suring WWII and would like to do something similar to what you have done. In addition, I have quite a few negatives in a Pacific p-47 ace's grouping I'd like to "uncover" and preserve. How does one go about this !?! What is the best equipment/process to incorporate!?! Thanks again for you help !! Vic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Michael Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share #74 Posted June 7, 2010 French North Africa color slide. Looks like it was taken possibly in a bombed out plane hanger. think the "no smoking" sign is big enough? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Michael Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share #75 Posted June 24, 2010 here is one from a negative grouping from a navy corpman. Looks like a Marine Lt. aviator and one from what I think training. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
