| This
superb set of 68 images has been generously donated by our U.S.
correspondent Doug Wilde, following a recent visit to the U.S. National
Archives located at College Park, Maryland. There, he searched the
'General Records of the Department of the Navy 1789 - 1947' and within
that, the 'General Photographs' section and then the various photographic
records contained therein. These images are all from the Grumman
manufacturers files. Each one is as sharp as if it was taken yesterday and
show an amazing amount of detail. Our grateful thanks goes to Doug for his
superb effort. Just makes you wonder what other gems are waiting to be
found there. (Full
