rustywings Posted April 15, 2017 Share #38 Posted April 15, 2017 I have several photographs in this album depicting a combined Army/Navy formal ceremony taking place in front of a Luke Field hanger. Unfortunately, these images are not dated and have no caption info. Since all of the other photos are from the 1924 to 1926 time period, I assume this ceremony occurred sometime during that same period? Are the two Asian dignitaries part of a Japanese envoy? I have more questions than answers... Closer: Closer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvage Sailor Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share #39 Posted April 15, 2017 Rusty, Although Ford Island was turned over to the Air Service (until Wheeler Field and then Hickam Field were established in 1940) the Navy still had their seaplane squadrons based there too. See my post #2 - Navy Seaplane in Hangar 17 Military courtesy dictated that the services routinely invited their counterparts to any ceremonies or dignitary visits to the Luke/Ford airfield.

flytiger Posted November 27, 2019 Share #46 Posted November 27, 2019 Super photos thanks for displaying them! I would be 97% sure the two asian men are Japanese. I spent 3 of my early teen years on Hickam 1950 - 53. Always loved the Islands and planning one last trip there soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flytiger Posted April 13, 2020 Share #50 Posted April 13, 2020 Wonderful photos! I was lucky enough to spend my early just pre-teens in Honolulu and Hickam 1950-53. Great fun was searching the many bunkers and trashed building from WW2 between Hickam and John Rogers Field! I was able to visit the Islands many times in my flying career and still a magic place!
