Materials in this series include original negatives and images; many were taken in secret during Patti's covert mission for the OSS in Vietnam in 1945. In addition, a small group of these photographs were given to Patti by the Vietnamese Communist leader Ho Chi Minh which show his people suffering from a severe famine in the early 1940s. This series also includes photographs given to Patti, and collected or copied from other sources by Patti. Please refer to the included scrapbooks (Series I, box 10) for additional notations and images.

The photographs series contains a tintype and black and white photographic prints. Images are of Dwight Laing Rogers, Hattie Moore Paulk, the Broward County Fair, members of the Appeal Board for the Selective Service System, and the 1955 launching of the MSO 495 (commissioned as the U.S.S. Swerve Ocean Minesweeper) at the Broward Marine in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The series is organized chronologically within the folder.
