U.S. Navy Caquot



Hey folks - here is a RPPC image of a U.S. Navy Caquot I picked up along the Oregon Coast. Nice one.

Also picked up two non-aviation related photos - one is a sad story about a signal corps squadron where on the back it is noted that nearly all of those pictured were killed. The card appears to be of British soldiers. I will just post a link, rather than post the card image here. http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z...alCorpsRsz.jpg
The back has the tragic note at the top: http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z...alCorpsRsz.jpg

The second is of a group of Americans in France... nice group shot and the back of the card is a note from the soldier to his sister in West Virginia.

Also found two Keystone View Company fesselballoon images. So got really lucky I felt for just browsing.
