EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Lieutenant "Mike". Hunter, an Army pilot assigned to the Douglas Aircraft Company during World War II. Taken in 1942 by renowned photographer Alfred T Palmer, this image showcases a moment frozen in time at the aircraft plant located in Long Beach, California. Lieutenant Hunter stands confidently beside an airplane propeller, wearing his military uniform and donning dark sunglasses that add an air of mystery to his persona. His presence exudes strength and determination as he represents the brave men who served their country during this pivotal period in history. The composition of the photograph highlights both the industrial setting and Lieutenant Hunter's role within it. The massive building behind him symbolizes America's commitment to manufacturing aircraft for its armed forces. It serves as a testament to the nation's dedication towards winning the war effort. Palmer's skilled use of light and shadow adds depth to this still image, emphasizing every detail from Lieutenant Hunter's facial expression down to each rivet on the plane. The monochromatic color scheme enhances its timeless quality while capturing a sense of nostalgia for those who lived through this era. Preserved by the Library of Congress' Farm Security Administration collection, this photograph is not just a historical artifact but also a powerful reminder of America's resilience during times of conflict. It immortalizes Lieutenant "Mike". Hunter as one among many heroes who played vital roles on both land and sky throughout World War II.
