Kodachrome

So, my mom went to visit my Aunt in Virginny and gave her a box of stuff to take to me. To my surprise, it was one of my Grandpa's 4-pocket tunics and whole carousel of Kodachrome slides he took.

My grandpa must have had a hell of a lot of foresight to take photos in the novelty of color.

Here's a few previews, until I get a good camera. These are projections on the wall I took photos of, so the color and sharpness of the pictures do the real thing no justice.


Aviation student, 1943.


Grandpa in the cockpit of a Waco CG4A glider.


Hangar being built. All those footlockers...


Glider maneuvers stateside. I would be biting the hell out of my nails watching that controlled disaster.
