October is American Archives Month. To celebrate, we are highlighting our staff around the country and their favorite records from the holdings in the National Archives. Today’s staff member is Alan Walker, archivist in Research Services at the National Archives at College Park. His favorite record is this aerial photo from the records of aerial photography pioneer Albert W. Stevens (series 18-AWS, in Stills). So why does he like this photo? “Why do I like this? Well, its just awesome! Not only the flare effects, but look at the altitude. Stevens was waaaay up there. Ive looked at a lot of photographs while working here, but this one has always mesmerized me.” Image: Flare Effects from the Sun.
