Within each file, slides are organized alphabetically according to manufacturer. Series II, Museums and Static Displays, is arranged into two subseries: Subseries IIA: United States, and Subseries IIB: Foreign. Each of these subseries is organized alphabetically according to the name of the city or air base that the museum is located.
