We've got an on-going project to scan in, host and make accessible on AirSpace some of the thousands of unique images from the Flight Archive.
It's a lengthy and fiddly business but we've made our first step forward in a while with the release of several hundred fascinating black and white historical photos for various periods in the previous century.
In the coming months we hope to turn these initial hundreds into thousands, but I'll keep you posted.
The selection of images are range from pre and post 1914, to air races and historical prototypes. The full list is below:
• Historical Pre 1914
• Historical 1930s Civil
• Historical 1930s Military
• Historical 1939-1945
• Historical Post War
• Historical Air Races
• Historical Experimental and Prototypes
We'll be working through these images to tag them (in order to improve their findability) but I'd like to encourage knowledgable users to help us classify these images by posting tags and descriptions under indivdual photos if possible.
That will help speed up the process and hopefully allow us to link the images to the corresponding pages of Flight magazine from our 100 year Archive.
