1930s Candler Field (Atlanta Airport)

No 1930s Air Corps visit was complete without a gaggle of A-12 Shrikes.

O-1 Falcons

Keystone Bombers were always on hand whenever the Air Corps wanted to impress the locals.

The Army Air Corps pays a visit to Candler Field in Atlanta sometime around 1935-36. Although renamed Atlanta Municipal Airport in 1929, one can see by the title of the photo album page that the “Candler” moniker was still unofficially in use. 

There is absolutely nothing left of the scenery captured in these photos – the last of these hangars were demolished decades ago.
