Description | Photographic print formerly pasted down in an album -- remnants of the adhesive are still visible on the verso. Verso of print inscribed: Cut-line -- The tiny ship skims overhead, at 140 m.p.h. It makes the ideal target for aerial gunnery, since it moves so fast and maneuvers like a full size plane."

In a different hand at bottom of print verso: "Photo B Page 20 April 21 Atlanta Journal." |
