Though trained as a painter, the medium Jim Yarnell (1917-[2011]) most enjoyed was photography. He was appointed advertising manager of the Beech Aircraft Corporation in Wichita. During the summer of 1962, Yarnell spent 58 days photographing the United States from a Beechcraft Debonair, for the book This is My Land.

Silver gelatin print. Gift of Richard Yarnell and Barbara and Mark Chamberlin in memory of Ann and James Yarnell. 2009.1.43
