Mystery Photo Locket Dear Sir:      I was wondering if you could identify this small charm which has a photograph and signature of an aviator. The first initial of his signature is an H. and the last letters look like "ioni" but that's the best I can make out. Thanks again, and fingers crossed. Best, George Collection of George Glastris, 6-22-05 IDENTIFICATION via email from Dave Lam, 6-29-05 Ralph,      I think the photo on the locket is likely Henri (Enrico) Cobioni, Swiss, 1881-1912. Killed in a crash 15 Oct 1912. Dave
