We are indebted to Marie-José Venner for providing this photo which she received from Charles F. Bridge II of New York. Mr. Bridge’s grandfather was one of Arlie Bridge’s older brothers. The picture was taken on 17 July 1943, as [Venner] was told by the nephew of David N. Ketterer (the engineer): this is the date on the Ketterer family's copy of the picture.
