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 now 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.

We are far from the completeness of the collection, and so we welcome you back to explore new additions frequently.

Do you have slides, photos, Etc. to offer? Just get in touch, and let's start from here.

Some of the images in galleries are available as originals - watch out for the "Want the Original" option - click "Request a quotation" - make your offer - and receive our feedback on availability, acceptance, or counter offer.

How can I find the recently uploaded images?
In the horizontal navigation bar click on "Latest" and then you see all recently added images newest first and by month.

What are My albums?

"My albums" are selections and groups of images you make as you browse through the galleries on our website. "My albums" allow you to select images, save that selection as an album, and share it with others, along with comments.

With a Zoggavia customer account, you can save and manage multiple favorites. From our website's lightbox page, you can easily switch between the lightboxes you have created and the lightboxes that you (or other visitors) have shared with you by email.
