My dad at work on an airplane at Forbes Field, Topeka. before and after photos

MSG William C Bechtel at work in 1972 I believe. This old photo was in bad shape; cleaned it up with denatured alchohol (holding my breath for more than one reason) scanned it, and went to work colorizing and adjusting. I'm really proud of how it turned out, and without Topaz Adjust and this great community I know it would have been less than spectactular.

Very nice job on both the restoration and the colorizing. My father-in-law was the protestant chaplain at Forbes for a few years in the 1950s, and then he and my mother-in-law retired to Topeka and made use of the Forbes PX until it closed in 1973.

Cheers,
