New York City 1954 (Aerials from USGS)

Oakland, California 1948 (Aerials from USGS)

    I am very interested in the aerials of Oakland from 1948. How do I access them? I have Google Earth on my iMac. Thanks,

      @Stuart – Just click on the Download button on the post. You should be able to turn on/off the aerials from the menu on the left by checking boxes next to the ones you want to see. If that’s not working, let me know.

    Thanks! Awesome!

    RE: Chicago Imagery

    I noticed that you have included the downtown and nearby surrounding area. I will be eagerly looking forward to the inclusion of more of the available 1938 imagery.

      At this time I don’t have any plans to add more imagery to the Chicago area. Maybe in future.
