Associated Aviation Photo Press

Digitised Slides

Most photos in this unique collection are from the 1980s and earlier. In those days, we could get access to military airbases in the USA and Europe with our press cards. During our visits to the airbases we were allowed to photograph on the ramp during regular airbase working days and at the runways for take-offs and landings. This resulted in images that are quite exclusive today.                                                                                   
Our equipment consisted of analog Nikon cameras and Kodachrome colour slides (ASA 25 and 64). Because slide films were quite expensive, we limited the number of photos per visit, unlike the possibilities with digital cameras today.
Around 2010 we started digitising our slides to create the photo galleries in this section.
