U.S. MARINES IN HAITI, 6 PHOTOGRAPHIC PRINTS.

A portfolio of six glossy 5x7 prints taken in Haiti by a Marine, ME Hilty, shortly after WWI. Mac Elmer Hilty was a Marine flier with the U.S. Navy through most of 1918. He trained at the Marine flying field in Miami, Florida and later flew on bombing missions with the British in the Ypres-Lys Sector from September through November 1918. Among his effects was a stack of photographs from Haiti, none of which was dated. A number of them were of DH-4s at the Marine flying field in Port-au-Prince. It is from selections of these Haiti photos that the prints shown here were made.
