Found these very interesting, thought I'd share.

Interesting!

I assume most were taken by another person from the other cockpit.
Would like to know type of camera and how some were done?

Ride safe, Ted

Very cool photos. Those Bi=Planes must have been quite the sight for the residents of San Antonio. The article says a Kodak Vest Pocket Camera was probably used. Makes me wonder if the guys that trained here at Love Field in Dallas took photos like that.
