I was rummaging through a box of old family photos last night and came across this photo of Dad standing next to his crashed Iberian Constellation. I'm not sure of the year ('56?), but when I was a kid I can remember him talking to other pilots about this crash (one of six over his career).
Most of his pals called him "Lucky Larry", but in reality he always carried a KJV Bible in the cockpit with him and prayed before, during, and after every flight.
I've scanned the photo and attached it for your viewing enjoyment. Handsome git, wasn't he?
