GREAT news.  It appears SDASM photo archive has been accepted into Flickr's "The Commons" section.  They have posted over 130 pages of new photos, but even better, unlike the photos they have posted in the past, these latest photos are of much higher resolution.


I'd describe what has been newly posted, but I am too busy drooling.   ;D


Additionally, the great thing about The Commons is not only the material posted by various different institutions, but the comments added by Flickr members about what is depicted (even "history detective"-type work).  In addition, the tags that are added to the images which add a ton to their accessibility and usefulness.


I would strongly encourage anyone here to add comments and tag the photos with relevant information (name of aviator depicted, name of aircraft, official designations, locations, aircraft registrations and/or identities, etc.), given the fact that SDASM and these other institutions do not have the means to do so on their own, and often do not have the depth of knowlege that many of those here posses.
