    Nice to see this plane again! I was at that race on July 18, 1971, and watched it catch fire and crash. Very sad...

    "Galley" crouching down at center of the photo is actually a young Daniel L. Gallery, later a famed US Navy admiral. Dan Gallery is best known for his capture of the German U-Boat, U-505 during the Second World War. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_V._Gallery See also this article in the July 1928 issue of Popular Aviation magazine, which features Gallery, W.D. Woods and W.J. Slattery in a story about the 1928 Curtiss Marine Trophy Race. books.google.com/books?id=gGGHO0I6UCIC&pg=PA19&lp...
