His response to my request to use the photo is reproduced below. Dear Ralph, We would be glad to let you use this photo. I just had a quick look at your site and I think I will spend a few hours in it. If you need a photo with a better quality, feel free to tell me. I compress the photos as much as possible to save space on the server. We have about 1000 photos from the period 1925-1936, so if you really need something, we might have it. The website Flying Pioneers will change a lot in a few weeks. We stop selling originals photos, and will begin to sell copies. Prices will be more affordable (4 or 5$ for an 8x10 photo), Please, let us know when you have added the photo in your site.
