Angel flights
Imagine: Los Angeles after the Second World War. A place of unlimited possibilities and opportunities. This sizzling environment is meticulously re-created in "L.A. Noire," the new, blockbuster video game from Rockstar Games, which brings players into an extremely faithful reenactment of 1940s Los Angeles.
Thanks to painstaking research by Team Bondi in Sydney, Australia, "L.A. Noire" provides an unparalleled, three-dimensional level of detail of Los Angeles circa 1947 — showcasing landmarks and infamous streets as they were in the postwar era, all of which serve as backdrops for realistic crime-fighting segments.
For authenticity, the game makers turned to UCLA's Benjamin and Gladys Thomas Air Photo Archives, named after Benjamin, the former chair of the Geography Department, where the collections are housed, in 1971-1974 and 1977-1978.
