Dear Mr.Quick;
Sorry this is not the size picture you
requested but hope it will do.
I was doing a weeks exhibition flying at
the Texas State Fair,Dallas in I9II*A newspaper reprter
covering the show carried a camera and we talked of the
possibility of taking pictures from the plane,a single
seater,all Curtiss built in those days.As you see we att
ached the camera to the wing,and the bulb to the control
wheel and I enclose four samples of the result,pictures
of the fair grounds,and printed in the paper each day.
In an article in Inquire magazine some
time ago,on aerial photography,these were given credit
with being the first photographs taken from a airplane
Sincerely
Beckwith Havens
