The collection is primarily composed of slides and photographs, and was originally organized by Mierow by the Air Force base where they were taken. This organization has been retained, though the color photographs and slides have been separated from the rest of the collection for preservation in cold storage. Scans and paper print copies of these materials have been printed and added to the collection for access purposes. Scans have also been made of the black and white photographs, but the originals remain with the collection and have not been separated to cold storage.
The photographs and slides focus on the aircraft Mierow saw at the air bases he was stationed, and on the facilities he lived in and guarded during the war. Also notable are the action shots, which include pictures of bombing run exercises, aircraft being prepared for takeoff, and aircraft taking off and landing at the bases. The arrival of United Nations troops at K-16 is also documented.
Also included are the pages of a scrapbook that Mierow assembled as an exhibit for the Air Force Museum, which is composed of notable pictures from the main collection.
