Student Hazel Bryan 'welcomes' Elizabeth Eckford as the first black student to her all-white school in Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1957. Eckford left the school after one day due to riots. Bryan face became one of the iconic civil rights movement photos, but she ended up switching sides and being a pro-equal rights campaigner. The two also met up 40 years after the initial photos

Edit to add:
The earlier pic of the pilot getting his haircut is 1942 apparently.
His name was Francis Mellersh. His daughter wrote this about him:
We have the original of the photo, and the book (he was crazy about John Buchan) and that bloody pipe killed him in the end at 72. I'm afraid those who have been to war and daily diced with death are rather cavalier with their health.
