If you have ever taken on the project of transferring photographs to digital storage, you know what an investment it can be both finances and time. The Wisconsin Aviation Hall of Fame (WAHF) is on a mission to digitize the Leo Kohn aviation photography collection—all 34,000 negatives stored in protective envelopes—and it can use your help.
The late Kohn, from Brookfield, Wisconsin, spent his life behind a camera and immersed in aviation. He authored several books that were filled with his photography. Among the titles still available are The Story of the Texan (American Flight Manuals), Pilot’s Handbook for Model YB-49 Airplane, and the Armchair Aviator series. If you couldn’t make it out to the airport, curling up with one of these books could be the next best thing.
