1. The dining hall of Christ Church, Oxford. The photograph was taken by Andrew Dickson White, co-founder (with Ezra Cornell) of Parr’s alma mater. (Source: Wikipedia; original at Cornell University Library, A. D. White Architectural Photographs, Accession Number: 15/5/3090.00833)
3. Oxford cadets. This publicity photo is included in an appendix to “A History of the American Air Service in Great Britain,” where it is captioned “First detachment of American Flying cadets in England, marching to their billets.” However, the man marching alongside on the far left appears to be Elliott White Springs, which suggest this is actually the second (“Italian”) detachment. Note the new headgear, replacing the old campaign hats. The white bands mark the men as cadets.
4. Cadets at Exeter College, Oxford. Publicity photo (attributed on the back to the General Press Organization) in Parr’s possession.
8. Preparing to “swing the prop.” This photo, credited on the back to the General Press Organization, was among Parr’s possessions. The hatless cadet on the left appears to be Elliott White Springs.
9. Map reading. This photo is taken from the “A History of the Air Service in Great Britain,” where it is captioned: “Air Pilots in the Making. Photo shows American flying cadets learning ‘Bird’s-eye-map reading’ in British school.” The balding, mustached man in the middle is probably Fred Stillman; it may be Parr looking over his right shoulder.
