I have been looking for air photos taken by photographers from airplanes in the Central New York region. An early source of photos is "Mason Flying Service" Air Photo from Geneva, NY. the Geneva Historical Society tells me that the Mason Flying Service was no longer listed in the Geneva Directory by 1950. I have not been able to locate anyone that knows what happened to them or where their negatives might be housed.

Cornell University has a good series of 1938 and later aerial photos for some parts of central New York at http://aerial-ny.library.cornell.edu:6779/ny/index.cfm They might posibly have the other ones you want but they are not yet online. You could check with a librarian there. The full set of the 1938? (possibly 1935 from memory) aerial photos of Onondaga County are downstairs in the County Clerk's Archives. They used to be in a large wooden box right near the inner door and there was a large map key to the whole set mounted on a piece of cardboard.
