This is a set of over 300 35mm, black and white negatives found in a basement of an “antique” mall in Wichita Falls, Texas. Strips of 3 to 6 are in glassine sleeves bound in two books designed for the purpose of preserving negatives. Contact prints are taped to each sleeve designating the contents. The labels here are as shown in these notes. The first three pages of each book is an index with identification of each strip of negative, most with notations of f-stop and shutter speed, filters and light conditions. They were apparently taken in England. Many of the shots are of military aircraft, some crashed. There are a few shots of London Sights and a few shots of personnel. Though the camera man took careful notes on subject, lighting f-stop and shutter speed, there are no dates. There are a few shots of London mixed with shots of the base so it can be guessed that the photographer was stationed in the south of England. Some air experts will recognize the planes and serial numbers and the base will eventually be identified, I’m sure. To review all of these in a slightly faster method, there is a double slide show on the LOST GALLERY page. I have added the three actual index pages as entered by the photographer in case I missed something. All photographs are the property of Lost Gallery.
