Flying from Casper, Wyoming to Salt Lake City and on to San Francisco, mid 1950s
These
photos were taken in one set, I think. I know that the Salt Lake to
San Francisco photographs are part of a set my father took on a journey
that ultimately went to Japan, with stops at Hawaii and Wake Island. I
suspect that the first few photographs, showing a Western Airlines
airliner at the Natrona County Airport, are part of this set. I'd also
note that I think all of these photos depict Curtiss CW-20 (C-46) aircraft, but I don't
know if they all depict the same one.Note the sailor who was also boarding in the first photograph. Then, as now, there were a lot of servicemen traveling at any one time.
