Description: A vintage photo taken in the state of Georgia. It was taken by Aviation Cadet G.A. Bennett of the Royal Air Force.

He was stationed in bases throughout the state during 1942 and 1943. This photo was taken by him and orginates from his personal album. It is likely one of a kind. Type & Size: A 3.5x2.5" original photograph.Condition: Original and in fair to good vintage condition. As it originated from a personal photo album from the 1940s it may contain remnants from being part of an album - marks, scuffs, pieces of cardboard or adhesives, etc. please see the photo scans for precise condition. The image shows an airfield in Americus, Georgia in 1942. Visible are several small biplanes parked near a hangar, with a few individuals walking around the tarmac. The scene is set on a sunny day, and a bus is parked to the side of the airfield.In 1942, Americus, Georgia was home to Souther Field, a significant site for pilot training during World War II. Many pilots trained there as part of the U.S. military efforts to prepare airmen for combat, contributing to the larger war strategy.No visible signs with text or known individuals can be identified in the image, so there's no specific caption to provide.
