The aircraft that carried the photographer was likely a US Martin B-26 Marauder. The unit that flew this mission and processed the photograph was the Field Photographic Branch. Field Photo had field offices in London and post-liberation Paris. A core operation of this unit was to record by air and on ground the status of port facilities and transportation infrastructure, particularly along Atlantic coastal France. It is unknown why their resources were used in this case to deviate from that program and photograph central Paris. This is one of three images of central Paris in the collection and they were almost certainly taken on the same mission. We know that this photo was taken prior to the 25 August 1944 liberation of Paris. This is because one of the three photos clearly illustrate the Nazi SS symbols on a sign posted in front of the Grand Palais. The digital image was generated from a 15x19” photographic print. If an original exists at all, it would be at the National Records and Archives in College Park, MD. Photographer Clarence Inman was 25-26 years old while stationed for World War II in Paris (Nov 1944-May 1945) and London (June-November 1945). He was a US Navy Reserve Chief Petty Officer attached to the Field Photo Branch of the US Office of Strategic Services (OSS). The founder and commander of this unit was legendary film director John Ford. Field Photo had missions across the globe during the war. Clarence Inman’s work was largely connected to the Intelligence Photographic Documentary Project which surveyed the existing conditions of Continental Europe ports and transportation infrastructure. This project also was tasked with assembling photo documentation for the war trials in Nuremberg. Inman created many quality photographic images while off duty and on foot in Paris, London, Copenhagen, and Nuremberg. After the war, he returned to his career as a life-long professional photographer in Los Angeles.
