Hi Kathy:
I went through the USGS APMI (Aerial Photography Micrographic Index)
microfiche with no luck. I also fired up the old USGS APSRS CD and it
listed a couple of possibilities, but don't get your hopes up since they
also list ABN-1953 as covering this area:
Two Fairchild flights held at the Fairchild Collection at Whittier
College are listed:
C-4650, 1937, 1:20,000
C-20500, 1954, 1:40,000
You might contact them to see if these flights in reality cover the
area, but APSRS had serious problems in their data entry
The other possible is a US Army flight listed as Project 001, 1956,
1:64,000. This would be held at USGS EROS Data Center in Sioux Falls,
SD, but it should have showed up on the APMI fiche and it didn't. It
would be worth your while to search EROS as well as the National
Archives since EROS will hold all the Military flights & that would seem
to be your best bet. Good luck.

The specific area of interest is the mile on either side of highway 78 between the Coachella Canal and the Niland-Glamis Road and railroad tracks (Glamis is at the east end of the study area.) I have check the USDA 1959 and 1953 (ABN-1959 & ABN-1953) flights of Imperial County and they did not cover this area. This area was a military training area during WWII and the researcher has heard that the military flew aerial photography, so we think photography does exist. We are checking with National Archives. Does anyone have any other leads?
