Open Call for SE Asian Pilot Images: 1930-1945 for exhibit

[rathbonemuseum]

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

Try as I might, I find my resources for pictures of SE Asian Air Force pilots during the period of 1930-1945 are simply too slim in America, online or in English. I am trying valiantly to create new sections on my website dedicated to the Philippine Air Force, Siam/Thai Air Force, French Indonesia (Laos/Cambodia/Vietnam) during this very early stage in most countries air forces.

What I am looking for are scans out of books or of original pictures showing

- Portraits of air force personnel showing their uniforms with rank and air insignia (most important!)

- Casual pictures of air force personnel in uniform

- nice clear shots of parked aircraft showing the national insignia of the period.

Can you provide any help? As I said, this is for advancing my online museum and resource at http://www.rathbonemuseum.com

I would need the digital images to be of good size. Preferably at least 600X900 pixels but I will take anything at this point.

Thanks so much in advance for your help.

Cheers,

Tod Rathbone
