Sent through to the American Air Museum by Tom Berto, who says of the physical print:
'It was passed on to me by the daughter of George Conners when George died earlier this year. George was a ferry pilot in WWII. I’m not sure what his connection to Glen Davis was. I would like to make sure that the photograph ends in a good location.'
