Beautiful. Great find.

Freaking awesome pic. I especially love the old 48-state American flag hanging. Cool piece of history.

Nice pic! In the the last 70 years the ratio of people watching vs. working has gone from 1:1 to at least 6:1.

You can download this and other photos as .tiff's from the Library of Congress FSA (Farm Security Administration) these are 4x5 color slides shot with a large format camera using Kodachrome. I have one picture of B-24 that I downloaded and you can zoom in and read the serial numbers on the fuselage ribs!

There are some seriously cool pictures on there both color and b&w. https://www.loc.gov/pictures/collection/fsac/

That collection is cool, but I can't imagine when I'll need a 195.6 MB photo of a bean field.

A man your man could be like.

Nice tie, but no reflective belt in sight. Clearly not cut out for the modern Air Force. He probably drank too much and made disparaging comments about loose women.

How barbaric. (/sarcasm)
