3295 - This is a RCAF PBY that crashed and was brought to NAS Sitka.

3296 - Here the damaged RCAF PBY is in front of one of the NAS Sitka hangars.

3299 - This is one of my favorite photos.  Here are two NAS Sitka aircraft in front of the north hangar.  The men are gathered for an outdoor Easter service.

8514 - This photo is probably from 1939-1940. Before the hangars were constructed, the seaplane base was little more than a parking lot for the aircraft. 

8610 - Here one of the NAS Sitka PBYs taxis in the Sitka Channel. 

8613 - This is the insignia for VP17, one of the Navy squadrons based in Sitka.

8614 - A a man and two children pose at the tail of a NAS Sitka PBY.  The red and white checkered paint scheme is from the 1930s and early 1940s, before the war.

8616 - Here is another view of the PBYs at the NAS Sitka, before the hangars were constructed.

8617 - This view is probably from the 1920s or early 1930s.  There are many Tlingit canoes, each with an American flag.  The Navy Coaling station is in the background.

8615 - This is a view of the Navy radio station on Japonski Island.  This station existed prior to the construction of the NAS Sitka.
