Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

African American military photo album, 1953-1960, documenting the service and personal life of a Black U.S. Air Force serviceman across multiple postings during and after the Korean War. The album records military duty, daily routines, and interpersonal relationships within an increasingly integrated armed forces, providing visual evidence of African American participation in Cold War military infrastructure. The material captures both overseas deployment in Korea and domestic life across U.S. bases, situating individual experience within broader patterns of military service and social change following desegregation. Album comprises 101 black-and-white silver gelatin photographs, most measuring approximately 3.5" x 3.5", mounted on black pages with corner mounts. Early images place the serviceman at Kessler Air Force Base in Mississippi, followed by extensive documentation of his time in Korea, likely associated with the 650th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron, as indicated by a tent marked with unit insignia. Photographs show military encampments with tents and barracks, vehicles including trucks and jeeps, and groups of soldiers engaged in daily routines. One caption identifies "Our home in Korea," accompanying images of base infrastructure. Additional scenes include a USO performance at "K-6 Korea 54," where servicemen gather beneath a "Camp Shows" banner. The album continues with postings at Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota and locations in Alaska, where winter conditions, specialized vehicles, and outdoor activities are visible. Social and interpersonal life is extensively documented, with repeated appearances of individuals identified as "Daril," "Bunky," "Peanuts," and others, shown in uniform, at leisure, and in group settings. Domestic scenes include family gatherings such as "Roger's Birthday Party June 59," and images of women and children identified as "Mary," "Rochelle," and "Teresa," indicating sustained family connections. Travel photographs include roadside markers such as "Welcome to Illinois" and "Entering Indiana," while Alaska-based images depict community events including dog sled races and local festivals. Created during the transitional period following the desegregation of the U.S. military, these photographs provide a sustained record of African American service members operating within integrated units while maintaining personal and family networks across geographic distances. The combination of overseas deployment, domestic postings, and family life offers a comprehensive view of military and social experience during the 1950s. Album pages show some loss and covers are detached; photographs remain sharp with strong tonal quality and are largely well-preserved; overall very good condition. This album offers an extensive documentary record of African American military life and community formation in the Korean War and early Cold War period.…
