All photographs are continuous-tone photographs unless described otherwise. Printed photos - photos printed with a dot matrix as in magazines and newspapers - are clearly described as such. Most of my manufacturer photos (Boeing, Curtiss, Martin, etc.) came from an author, USMC Col. Robert Rankin, who wrote in-house articles and other aviation related pieces for aircaft manufacturers in the 1940's and 1950's. He amassed an enormous collection of original vintage photos which I purchased in the early 1970's.
