  Frank Herbert Burnside (1888-1935): earlyaviators.com/eburnsid.htm

• TVL1970 said:

  Though the caption on the slide says "Veck," the British aviation journal Flight, using this very photo (in better shape), identifies this aviator as Hugh Peck, with a "P." See: www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1915/1915%20-%200635... Also, read here of the third reunion of most of these and other Canadian ex-Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) aviators at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Montreal on December 10, 1922 (once more, Hugh Peck is among those listed as attending): www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1922/1922%20-%200059...

  Fisher was an artist who specialized in drawings of women: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrison_Fisher

• Brandon McKinney said:

  Fisher was an excellent illustrator - and one of the most popular American magazine illustrators of the pre-1910s and 1910s - his work was also published as series of postcards which proved extremely popular and are very collectible today.
