EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Howard Hollem in Corpus Christi, Texas, in 1942, we witness the crucial task of refueling an SNC advanced training plane at the Naval Air Base. The image showcases two sailor mechanics diligently ensuring that the aircraft receives its essential supply of gasoline. Standing confidently on the wing is Floyd Helphrey, a young man who left his home state of Iowa to join the Navy earlier that year. At his side stands W. Gardner from Illinois, formerly a crane operator but now serving his country in this vital role. The photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time during World War II but also highlights the dedication and teamwork displayed by these men as they carry out their duties on behalf of their nation. Against a backdrop of vibrant colors and clear blue skies, this image serves as a reminder of America's commitment to aviation and military excellence during one of history's most challenging periods. Howard Hollem's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the technical precision required for such operations and the human element involved in supporting our armed forces. As we gaze upon this remarkable still image from over seven decades ago, we are transported back to an era when sacrifice and service were paramount values upheld by individuals like Floyd Helphrey and W. Gardner. This photograph is part of Howard Hollem's legacy within Heritage Images—a testament to his ability to capture significant moments with artistic flair while preserving historical events for future generations to admire and reflect upon.
