[LM_NET] OT: copyright question -- photographs

[Gail Wilhelm <librarydragonlady@YAHOO.COM>]

O wise ones,
My husband is putting together a scrapbook about his
dad's service flying in World War II.  He was sent
copies of photographs of his dad's crew and aircraft,
by the 360th Bomb Wing Museum, taken by US Army Air
Force photographers in 1943.

Today he went to get copies made for his 3 siblings
but the lady at the store would not give him the
copies because he didn't have a copyright release from
the photographers.  

Does anyone know what the duration for copyright of
photographs taken during the 1940s might be?

Thanks for your help.
