When it comes to air-to-air photography, there is usually a tale beyond what you can see in the image itself. And while the results often exist far longer than the photographer, the specifics of how they came about - the what, why, where and who -are usually lost or forgotten in the passage of time. One such image that falls into that category shows Aviacao Naval Portuguesa (Portuguese Naval Aviation) Curtiss SB2C Helldiver 'AS-14' - this type being known as 'The Beast', among other nicknames - flying over downtown Lisbon on April 22,1955. While the film was developed soon after the flight, the photograph itself only came to light during the late 1990s. Since then, it has appealed to me greatly. Not only does it offer an excellent view of the city in which I was born, but the pilot was a good friend and former classmate of my father - and a man I have known since childhood - Cdr Jose Cyrne de Castro.
