USS Lexington & others circa 1929 Hawaii

Part of an auction lot I bought about 20 years ago was an album of old Kodagraphs.
All photos were taken by a flier based in the Territory of Hawaii. Some pics taken of street scenes show cars with 1929 plates. I have probably 100 pics, many from Wheeler Field and Luke Field that I have not scanned yet. Many show street scenes and buildings including the Alhoa Tower. Also have many postcards of Hawaii in same collection. Many pics show transit through Panama Canal and many of the Garrison buildings at Angel Island California.
Hope you enjoy these, I'll scan some of the aircraft photos soon and post.
Any ideas what the planes are?

Re: USS Lexington & others circa 1929 Hawaii

What size are the originals? The cleaned up version by rdenham made me wonder if they could all be restored at larger resolutions for printing.
