Subject: Sonofagun! I've been published!<<<

Congratulations Ira being published!

It doesn't  matter whether it's first or lots, but being published is always
a good tummy feeling. :-)

Simply because as simple as this may sound, "hey there's my pictures out
there in the world for all to see!"

Is truly a wonderful gut feeling when you look at them no matter where there
published.

Here's wishing you many many more.

In the February issue of FlyPast, a British aviation magazine, an  article
on 

the Tallmantz Movieland of the Air Museum used two of my photos, with  

credits!

Not great art, but important in documenting an aircraft collection  

significant for both its historical value, and the use of the aircraft in
many  

Hollywood films, among them Catch 22, The Great Waldo Pepper,  and my
personal 

favorite, The Flight of the Phoenix (the original  with Jimmy Stewart).  It
was 

during this last film that Paul Mantz was  killed during the filming of the
final 

scene.

 

The photos were taken in 1981 (M4/35mm 'cron/HS Ektachrome). The museum  

closed its doors a few years later.

 

The author of the article, Scott Thompson, has a wonderful website for
those 

interested in WW2 aviation, with an expanded area on the Tallmantz  

Collection.  Visit it at _www.aerovintage.com_ (http://www.aerovintage.com) 

 

Very Best Regards,
