It’s a fascinating assignment & I love photographing from helicopters, altho one went down with me into Chesapeake Bay at a Navy Air Base a short while ago. Lost 5 cameras—but none the worse otherwise.” Toning along one edge on reverse and a couple small pencil notations, otherwise fine condition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
