Bob Hudson Posted May 22, 2018 Share #1 Posted May 22, 2018 Fire Island, Alaska is no longer occupied, but in the 1950's it was the home of the 626th Airborne Control and Warning Squadron. They had a small civilian aircraft and a flying club so some of these slides were taken from the air: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Scanned Kodachrome slides like these can provide some nice sharp details you just don't see in the low-res photos in books and gives a new perspective on things.
