NAVAL AVIATOR PHOTOGRAPH ALBUM, 1968 - 1971 Author: [Naval Aviation History / Vietnam War Era]. Adams, Rick (?) Title: NAVAL AVIATOR PHOTOGRAPH ALBUM, 1968 - 1971 Publication: Divers places, including San Francisco & Corpus Christi: 1968 - 1971 Description: Album with 30 leaves of black mounting paper, 27 with ~ 250+ [mostly] color snapshot-style photographs, attached at top, many with captions to verso. Some loose & laid-in. Album: 11" x 14". Photographs: 3-1/2" x 3-1/2". Red faux-leather commercial photograph album, red cord tie. "Photographs" gilt stamped to front cover, with gilt stamped geometric design to upper left. Modest wear to album covers, VG+. Most photographs VG+. Like most young men in the late 60s / early 70s that pursued a career in Naval Aviation, the compiler of this album was focused primarily on three things: airplanes, cars & members of the opposite sex. Mr Adams (?) was a Corvette fan, apparently owning a 1968 big-block. We find images from VT-10, as well as VT-29, in Corpus Cristi TX, places where he was, no doubt, stationed during flight training. We find pictures of Ms Anita Deppe [amongst many, many others], and from a Disneyland souvenir, we surmise she was a girlfriend from this period. An interesting pictorial record of a young naval avaitor's budding carreer, at the height of the Vietnam war [which, surprisingly enough, gets no mention whatsoever in this young man's album].
