The photograph depicts a military airfield scene at Souther Field, Georgia, in 1942. Visible in the image are several biplanes lined up on the tarmac and a vehicle parked in the foreground. The view is observation-like, perhaps taken from an elevated point or window.During 1942, Souther Field was significant for training activities related to World War II. Originally developed as a military pilot training base during World War I, it continued supporting military efforts in the 1940s. Notably, Souther Field played a role in training pilots for the Royal Air Force, which aligns with its key WWII contributions.Present in this photo: None
