I don't know if the Fairchild Co still exists, but their 1934 aerial
photographs of Connecticut are held in the Connecticut State Library.
There are no negatives available.
 
There was some talk of a project at UConn to scan them all and make them
available more widely. I don't know what the position is on that plan.
At present the State Library allows them to be copy-photographed, and
photo-copied. I am sure that this is not good for their long-term
survival. They are a precious resource, and need to be protected.
