EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the essence of Rhode Island State Airport, Hills Grove, near Providence in 1940. The airport, nestled in the picturesque landscape of Rhode Island, exudes a sense of nostalgia and charm from a bygone era. The image showcases the aviation infrastructure of the time, with aircraft scattered across the tarmac and a prominent hangar looming in the background. The administration building stands proudly at the forefront, symbolizing order and efficiency in air travel. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are transported back to a time when flight was still a marvel and airports were gateways to new adventures. The hustle and bustle of passengers embarking on journeys or returning home is palpable even through black-and-white photography. Rhode Island State Airport served as a hub for transportation and connectivity within the United States during this period. It was an essential lifeline for communities in Rhode Island and beyond, facilitating trade, tourism, and personal connections. Grenville Collins has expertly captured not just an airport but also a piece of American heritage in this photograph. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of technological advancements while also evoking feelings of nostalgia for simpler times.
