TBT #2

I didn't find all the pictures I wanted to post today.  There are more spectacular ones that my Grandfather took while flying in a deHavilland bi-plane over parts of Big Bend and the Rio Grande that actually show part of the plane.  You can see where he labeled some on the bottom of some.

Click on each to get a better view.

This is the camera my Grandfather used for all of these photos.  He used it at least into the 1960's that I know of.

Nogales, Arizona

 

Remember this story about him flying to Del Rio during Prohibition?  I found this label and it is dated on the back, 1922 with his name and the name of the 'cadet' that flew the plane.

 

 

Will look for the other pics this week unless I get to busy.

 

Happy Trails.
