    Is the above listed URL the correct one for "more detailed information about this photograph"? -- or ought it be this ?
  • State Library of New South Wales said:
    Hi PW, Yes the URL takes you to the catalogue record for a collection of photographs which includes this one. The record gives you information about the collection. To see all the photographs in the collection which have been digitised, just click on the image in the record and the album will open. The other link you discovered is another (uncropped) version of the same photograph.

    Radiopack or not, the dog doesn't like it. And it's not exactly difficult to see. He'd have to get a friend to help it off him.

    "Let His Loyalty and Devotion be a Lesson to Us All" Bobby was a Skye Terrier whose master, John Gray, died in 1858. Bobby was so devoted to his master that for fourteen years Bobby lay on the grave in Greyfriars Cemetery , leaving only for food. Baroness Angelia Georgina Burdett-Coutts, President of the Ladies Committee of the RSPCA, visited Edinburgh on several occasions to see Bobby. The Baroness received permission from the City Council to erect a granite fountain with a statue of Bobby on top by the graveyard as a lasting memorial to the loyal little terrier Bobby. The original sculpture is in the Museum of Edinburgh. Greyfriars Bobby -- Download the classic 1912 book by Eleanor Atkinson from the ManyBooks.net website. (Digitized by Project Gutenberg.)

    This must be the Princeton Airport which is still on Rt 206 about four miles north of town. I myself learned to fly at this airport, although it was a summer adventure of ten lessons leading to solo. I didn't continue it after that (busy with school). My dad, a private pilot of many years standing, was anxious for me to do it. A fun and rewarding challenge! In my day, 1957, it was still a grass landing strip. I learned in the Princeton University's Aeronca, an antique by then, but not quite a Jenny!

    The New-York tribune., December 02, 1917, Page 3 published a similar photo with the caption: "At the Princeton Aviation School, one of our training camps for modern war eagles, they have two very remarkable mascots - "Spark PIug", a cat, and "Prince of Princeton", a lively police dog. ... The photo to the right shows Instructor Frank Stanton and "Prince" all ready to make a flight. Both "Prince" and "Spark Plug" have taken any number of flights, and both act as if their feelings had been hurt when they are left behind." chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1917-12-02/ed-...

    The December 28, 1917 Brooklyn Eagle ran 3 pictures in this series with the caption. "Training American war eagles to fly- at the Princeton Aviation School. The college men training to become aviators are here shown assembling a motor for an airplane. The aviators have to be expert in motor construction. Frank Stanton, flying instructor of Princeton, who is teaching the art of flying to Princeton men. Mascot...Prince, the police dog, amusing students between, flight and Spark Plug, the cat mascot, an interested onlooker. A whirling propeller blade cut off Spark Plug's tail without lessening his pleasure in flying." fultonhistory.com/highlighter/highlight-for-xml?uri=http%...
