To me ithis looks like a composite --- some aircraft really there -
others pasted on a print or merged from a negative.

For instance, it looks like the C-124 and the B-66 both have runway
reflections on their fuselage --- and the F-94 (far left) looks like
it was in different light, and the 'USAF' on the right wing looks
penciled in.

And it is difficult for me to imagine that all the aircraft could (or
would) be massed for a Life photographer.


What a dumb ass

Jim Morris

Who is the dumb ass here? The person who is
willing to show his ignorance or the person who
dismisses the question with an ignorant remark?

To address the statement about the flght being
amassed for a Life photog. You should remember
that Life magazine was one of THE magazines at the
time and a photo in it was good PR for the AF.
Recall also the atmosphere of the times. The
Russian bear was just over the horizon. Always
good to let the taxpayers see their dollars at work.
