T-A-T Aviation Photograph, Charles Lindbergh, 1929
Description
A 1929 silver gelatin print of legendary aviator Charles Lindbergh, as he enters a Ford Tri-Motor plane, helping to begin the short-lived operation of Transcontinental Air Transport. Titled "Lindy going in Plane" in pencil to the reverse. "T.A.T. Photo." and Underwood & Underwood (New York) stamps to the reverse. Not framed. Measures 8 1/4" x 10".
