20 Vintage 1950s USN USAF Aircraft Jet Original Photos

This auction is for 20 original black and white photos that I found together in an envelope at an estate sale. Several of them are dated 1958 so I am assuming that they all are from that same general time. The paper on 17 of them measures about 11 ¼ by 9 ½ inches. The paper on three of them measures about 10 by 8 inches. Some of the jets are in flight. The others are on the ground.

They are generally in very good to excellent condition. Most of them do not lie exactly flat. Some lie flatter than others. One has some creases across the top left hand corner. There are some very light scratches from them rubbing together that are not particularly noticeable. Reflections and dark in some of my photos make some of them look not as nice as they really are. I have noted that in my list.

They are as follows:

A. In flight. 11 ¼ by 9 ½ inches. Navy Jet with odd round devise on nose. Scattered light areas are part of the photo. Two short lines at top are part of photo.

A. In flight. Navy jet # 85. Dark area along top is from photo not lying flat and not part of the photo. Likewise reflection along left hand edge. 11 ¼ by 9 ½ inches.

B. In flight. F4HH Navy Jet. 11 ¼ by 9 ½ inches.

B. In flight. Light areas on left and right that are not part of the photo. Reflection from when I took my photo of it. Slight small curved mark near center of photo seen from certain angles to the light. 10 by 8 1/8 inches.
