A great choice and photograph Ed. It could only be John Glenn this week. Thank you. |

By the meatball patch he's wearing I'm saying 1962. |

Great shot!That helmet and flight suit look close to the '62-ish styles that the New Nine sported, too. I noticed that the very modest name tag lacks a designator, neither his Naval Aviator wings nor his Naval Astronaut wings (which is what he'd be required to wear on his uniform). It is pretty stark, unfortunately. Perhaps it's NASA taking their "de-militarized" aspect of the Astronaut Corps to the final level? Thanks Ed. As always, your taste in weekly selections is matchless. |
