Earlier this year I interviewed Len Broadhurst, pilot with No,78 Squadron. Prior to flying Halifax a/c out of Breighton he learnt to fly in American on the Stearman, BT-13 and AT-10. Accordingly I’m looking for suitable high-resolution period photographs of these three aircraft (in flight) for my documentary film (now reduced to 26 minutes). Question: Please, can anyone help?
Best Wishes

It is unlikely 😉 that anybody was shooting digital in the 1940s.
I would assume that what you are actually looking for is high-res scans?
Or do you prefer good quality prints?

I haven’t got any, just clarifying. 🙂
Moggy – I know yours was a light-hearted comment ……….but degree of photo resolution is not exclusive to digital. To be fair to Phillip, in film technology slow films resolve more lines of detail per millimetre. In addition the appearance of sharpness is enhanced by contrast which builds up more quickly in slow film. So slow film has a greater faculty for showing fine detail. You will, therefore, find HIGH(er) RES PICTURES when slow film was used.:)

Try these one:
BT-13 in flight (4.230 x 3.308 Pixel)

AT-10 cockpit (1.800 x 1.189 Pixel)
