The collection contains five hundred and ninety-six (596) photographs, likely collected and notated by Griffin, featuring primarily Douglas Aircraft Company airplanes manufactured during the 1910s-1970s but also, to a lesser extent, other manufacturer models including Aero Spacelines, Boeing, Consolidated, and Northrop. Once we have them, we’ll share those with you and add the 15 to the guide.Īs ever, the data in this guide can be found in a fuller form online.
