  A couple weeks ago I published an article
on my RFCafe.com engineering website titled, "Amazing
Collection of QSL Cards and Photographs from 1924-1978." If you are an amateur
radio operator, you will probably want to take a look at the absolutely huge collection
(>5,000) of QSL cards collected over many decades by Mr. Thomas "Tom" Russell
Gentry (W5RG). I mention the website here as well because there is an equally amazing
collection of post World War I through pre World War II airplane photographs
that have most likely never been seen anywhere else.
 There are hundreds of biplanes and pilots
and hangars and engines and officers and aerial reconnaissance views, and a whole
lot more. Many show the result of a botched landing or ground loop. There is even
a photo of a model biplane sitting in the grass in front of a hangar. To see all
the airplane photographs, go to the main website and click on the
Army Air Corps link at the top. This
could be just what you have been looking for to get authentication photos for your
scale model.
