If I had the uniform on, you didn't doubt for a moment I was a pilot. No one ever blinked an eye if I tried to cash a cheque wearing that uniform.

Have you ever tried to split sawdust?

I am an airman, a pilot. In 1945, I was wearing the uniform of the U.S. following the orders of our commander-in-chief.

The front of a cheque alone gives someone enough information to steal your identity.

I didn't try and do fashion pictures. I tried to do portraits of girls wearing dresses.

Airline pilots are men to be admired and respected. Men to be trusted. Men of means. And you don't expect an airline pilot to be a local resident. Or a check swindler.
