Width 19 1/2 in / 49.5 cm
Provenance: John Dominis Holt, Honolulu, HI
This hand-colored panoramic photograph shows an aircraft review at Wheeler Airfield on Oʻahu in 1934. The long horizontal format captures rows of aircraft set against the open landscape and mountain range beyond. The hand coloring adds period atmosphere while keeping the image grounded as a documentary record of early military aviation in Hawaiʻi.
Wheeler Airfield was one of the central aviation sites in Hawaiʻi during the early 20th century. The photograph reflects the growing presence of aircraft, military organization, and airfield infrastructure in the islands before World War II. Its provenance from John Dominis Holt adds a Hawaiʻi collection context to an image suited to Pacific, military aviation, and Hawaiian historical photography collections.
