This photograph captures a stunning aerial view of Key West bombers flying over Chicago in 1941. The scene depicts military planes soaring above the city, with notable landmarks like the iconic Clark Street Bridge visible below, as well as the Merchant Mart building under the tail of one of the aircraft. The dimensions of this photograph are large, measuring 22x18 inches, making it an impressive visual statement reminiscent of early World War II aviation. During this period, the U.S. military was actively involved in training and preparing for potential engagements in World War II. Key West served as a strategic location for naval aviation training, and the mention of bombers suggests that these aircraft may have been used for training missions or demonstrations. The flight of bombers over a major U.S. city like Chicago also reflects the growing military presence and public awareness of air power during this time. === This photo is from a lot of original World War 2 photos, obtained from the estate of an unidentified U.S. airman. The captions on the back of each photo are from his first hand account. We are happy to offer discounts if you order multiple photos. Simply send us discounted offers on each photo that you are interested in.
