Product Details

Lot of 3 vintage black and white photographs, 7.25x5 inches, documenting U.S. Air Force ceremonies. Two photos carry official 'OFFICIAL USAF PHOTOGRAPH MAXWELL AFB, ALABAMA' back stamps confirming location, with handwritten pencil numbers (possibly catalog/negative numbers rather than dates). Standout images: (1) a female officer administering the oath of enlistment to a woman in Air Force dress uniform before a U.S. flag and wood-paneled wall with plaque, likely Maxwell AFB; (2) a military award presentation showing a Captain holding a framed medal opposite a man in civilian/military shirt, with a Colonel identified by name tag as 'WESTWOOD' standing at attention beside U.S. and organizational flags; (3) a female officer administering an oath of enlistment/reenlistment to a Staff Sergeant named 'PAYNE,' set before a partial Department of Defense seal and color guard streamers marked with partial JAN/DEC dates, likely taken at the Pentagon or a DoD facility. Uniform styles suggest a 1970s-1980s date range. Two additional images are blank photo backs bearing the official Maxwell AFB stamp and faint pencil marks, included for archival/provenance context; one is a low-quality partial stamped number verso. Condition: light fading and contrast loss typical of vintage prints, faint stamps, some creasing; please see photos for specifics. Associated with the estate of USAF Col. Patricia Jane Harrington. Please review photos for condition.
