The San Diego Air & Space Museum has thousands of photos which relate to the Langley.  These are photos either of the ship herself, her crew or the aircraft that flew off her.  These photos came from a variety of sources, but many of them came from the J.M.F. Haase collection

Born in San Francisco in 1893, Joseph Malta Frederick Haase joined the Navy in 1911 and was chief photographer at North Island Naval Air Station for much of his career in the 1920s and 1930s. JMF "Bunny" Haase documented all the aviation activities from the early 1920s at North Island that at the time encompassed the Army's Rockwell Field and NAS San Diego. His large photograph collection also covers civilian and Army aircraft.

This photo taken by Haase shows a smoke screen around the Langley laid down by her aircraft.

His air-to-air photographs are featured in many aviation reference books but usually under the credit line of the U.S. Navy. Chief Haase also participated in the second Alaskan Aerial Survey of 1929 and was responsible for the first US motion picture of the sun's eclipse in 1930 filmed from an aircraft. The Museum received most of this collection in 1990.

The museum also houses many other images of the Langley, including many that come from our North Island image collection.
