Why Zoggavia?
"Zoggavia represents the aviation history between 1930 and today. The main focus is on the big piston propliners of the 1940s and 1950s. Traveling was a privilege for the rich and the beautiful during those days. The idea is to share and sell images, most of them banned on Kodachrome slide film, showing aircraft and their operators and representing the mood of that time. Most prints are in color and accessible via galleries grouped by timeline, i.e., decades, general type of aircraft, and special areas. Keyword searches support your particular interest and needs. Drop us a line if you don't find what you are looking for.
What is Zoggavia selling?
Zoggavia is taking advantage of the digital age and offers state-of-the-art media, both analog and digital. For the friends of pixel and dots, we offer scans in various sizes and license models for some photos shown directly in our galleries. For people interested in analog media, we offer slides, negatives, prints, and books in our Auctions on dedicated marketplaces and Buy It Know products through this website. A 4-step quality table describes the condition of the slide. We are investing in completing the Zoggavia collection with the return on sales. We focus primarily on the Lockheed Constellation series, where Zoggavia represents almost every Constellation built and operated.
