Wingtip to Wingtip: The Batty Brothers: A Life in Pictures.

The Batty family owned a series of cameras. They took many snapshots and had their children pose in many situations. Often, they paid for pictures taken by photographers on busy city streets, a common occurrence during the Great Depression and World War Two. During training, Jack and Junior were sometimes allowed to take photographs on base. Here are a few of the best shots.
Please feel free to check back regularly as new photos are added sporadically.
