Gordon's pics : MailplaneArrivingAtHadley(airfield)
My late father had taken me (in the 1950s?), as a young child, to
Hadley field. I recall a hanger similar to (if not the same as) the one pictured.The two Hadley field photos, based on the borders, appear to be scanned from postcards - is that correct? If so (and you have the originals), is there any information on the other side of the cards? Are there any more Hadley field photos? They may be of interest to the local (South Plainfield, New Jersey, USA) historical society as well as myself (we have no association). Their website is at http://www.geocities.com/sphistoricalsociety/ . They have two small photos of Hadley field on that page. Thanks! Rich ps - I have lurked here for sometime enjoying the aviation photos and discussions. My main interest is antique tube radios but have an interest in aviation based on my dads time in the AAF (5th AF, 380th BG, 531 SQ - Northern Australia & beyond).

That border treatment is not uncommon in 1920s photos - I have it on quite a few others. Glad everyone got a kick out of them. yf Gordon" -- Cheers Dave Kearton |

These photos appear to be quite good so I would ike to share them with the South Plainfield Historical Society. Since they were posted here I don't believe there are any copyright issues with the images - are there? I suspect the Society would probably like to re-post them on their website. As for me they are just a kick. Thanks to all for stirring up some good memories... Rich |
