Shot by one of my idols the great Robert Capa, who is reputed to be responsible for introducing Nikon to the West. As well as starting the famous Magnum Agency. Apparently he picked up a Nikon F on his travels during the early years of the second world war.
The amazing thing about this shot from Life Magazine is the fact that they mention that Capa shot 106 pics on this landing in Normandy, and all but 10 were ruined by the Lab.
“G.E. engineers conducting a typical guided missile test firing at the Army’s Proving Ground, White Sands, New Mexico.” [Image caption]
“General Electric engineers and scientists are helping your Armed Forces to develop rocket leadership.
“Designing and testing such missiles is unbelievably complex. New metals for better rocket motors and better fuels for those motors are being perfected. Super-accurate instruments to steer the missile in flight are being designed. Miles of film must record all the test firings. These are jobs in which industry can, and does provide much help. G.E., for example, has been test firing rocket motors since 1945. . .
“In a short space of time, engineers have sent rockets to previously unattainable heights. Rockets in this country have flown to a height of 250 miles at a speed of over 5,000 miles per hour. . .” [From the ad copy]

Recently world renowned Artist Dr. J Eugene Grigsby requested to personally view my fine-art exhibit entitled "Everyone Could Use A HERO showing at the Central Art Gallery inside the Phoenix Public Library, but there was only one small problem. Dr. Grigsby is confined to a wheelchair and could not get over to view my exhibit. So what did I do...??? I brought the exhibit over to Dr. Grigsby's art studio home so that he could view the exhibit. He loved it!!! Now let me explain the history about this incredible creative and talented individual. He is a World War II Veteran who never received his medals (my staff and I are currently heading a campaign to Washington to get this man what he so rightly deserves)...; he also stood alongside the original Tuskegee Airmen (as he was friends with a good many of them), he is 94yrs young and will hold a conversation that would rival any orator walking today!!! He is THAT sharp!!! I could mention so much more about this perfect example of what a human being should be and act like; but I'm afraid that I would be biased. Truthful, but yet biased. Peace, dear Dr. Grigsby. My words alone can not express... *T.M.NOEL/ ANGRYHOUZE, inc.

No other person at the Algonquin Round Table loomed larger over the group than Robert E. Sherwood. When the group started meeting in June 1919, he was a Harvard graduate and combat veteran of World War I. Sherwood was a writer briefly on Vanity Fair, before moving to the original Life humor magazine. In his late twenties he got serious about writing plays. Sherwood went on to win four Pulitzers: three for Broadway dramas and one non-fiction award for a book about President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Sherwood was a longtime New Yorker who loved the theater and working with actors; but he was very political and that always showed in his work.
