EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American military history during the Second World War. Taken by renowned photographer Alfred T Palmer, it showcases Marine Corps gliders being towed from Page Field at Parris Island, South Carolina in 1942. The image exudes a sense of anticipation and determination as the gliders are prepared for flight. The vibrant colors bring to life the patriotic spirit of this era, highlighting the red, white, and blue markings on both the aircraft and uniforms of the servicemen involved. Page Field serves as an essential air base for training purposes, symbolizing America's commitment to aviation excellence during wartime. This photograph offers a glimpse into that pivotal time when young men were honing their skills before embarking on dangerous missions overseas. Palmer's expert composition allows us to appreciate not only the impressive machinery but also the vastness of this Southern location. The open skies above reflect endless possibilities while emphasizing freedom and bravery associated with flight. Preserved by Congress' Library of Congress collection, this historical artifact reminds us of our nation's resilience and sacrifice during times of conflict. It stands as a testament to American ingenuity and highlights how transportation played a crucial role in military operations. As we admire this remarkable still image captured over seven decades ago, let us remember those who served selflessly in defense of our country – forever etched within Alfred T Palmer's timeless masterpiece.
