Early color photographs of San Francisco Airport are rare, so we’re excited to share with you a recent gift to our collection. This color photo from 1947 shows a United Air Lines aircraft in front of the Airport’s 1937 terminal building along with three of the original airplane hangars built in 1927 and 1928.
