ブx5
Pioneering photojournalist and industrial photographer Margaret Bourke-White was hired in 1935 to photograph the planes and operations of TWA, Pan-Am, and Eastern Airlines. A view from behind the tail fin of a TWA Douglas DC-2. Its tail fin identifies the plane as the NC13711, the first DC-2 ever produced (there was no DC-2 prototype, as the DC-1 prototype required only minor adjustments for approval of production of the DC-2). "A Margaret Bourke-White Photograph" credit stamp to the reverse, and "47/35 DN" reference number in pencil.
