About the Photos

Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Most were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.

I know nothing what so ever about this photo. I was hoping someone knows what kind of sea plane this is, or who the men are. It looks experimental. Thanks for looking. View full size.
