Happy birthday Jim! The Gemini-7 prime and backup crews pose for a gag-portrait in July 1965. Left to right are Ed White, backup command pilot; Frank Borman, prime command pilot; Jim Lovell, prime pilot; and Mike Collins, backup pilot. Ed Hengeveld |

I've never seen that one before...great image. Borman looks hilarious.Ed White's hat looks like the same "hat" that Neil Armstrong wore in the Gemini 8 gag photo. I wonder if they took these photos at the same time. |

It looks like a "snoot"--a metal sleeve that goes over a photo light to concentrate the beam into a spot. |
