  Facinating photo...I always thought the earliest color photos were from the 1940s.

• DCPL Commons said:

  @Rich - Good catch. These photos were colorized though a painting process. I'll get some more info and post it here.

  The note above doesn't make it clear, but Vernon Castle was serving as a captain in the Royal Flying Corps, teaching airmen to fly in Texas when his plane crashed.
