As we have posted here before, the Kelch Aviation Museum archive holds the Leo J. Kohn Photography Collection of some 20,000 historic aviation images. The Kohn Collection is owned by our friends and partners at the Wisconsin Aviation Hall of Fame, and they have launched an ambitious project to digitize the collection make it available to the public for research, sharing, and preservation.

July 8, 2025 at 7:34 amLeo and I were friends for many years, and I have every copy of “Armchair Aviator,” which I treasure. His collection would have helped a number of my projects since he made his final flight, but I have found it nearly impossible to access it. As a museum professional, I applaud the on-going efforts you folks are making, but in the meantime, actually making meaningful use of the collection seems to be a daunting and frustrating exercise. I am presently working on a small monograph on the Douglas O-46A, and I am sure he included this type in his work.
