Hi - Owen Cathcart-Jones was my grandfather. We used to have an original clipping of this article, which appeared in NY Herald Tribune, Sunday, Nov. 21, 1937. My grandfather traced the article and had copies printed, to give away. My mother got these, after he died, and I think she gave the original newspaper clipping, to her brother, in England. I haven’t seen it in a long time. I have been searching the internet, for a long time, for a scan of this article and yours is the first I’ve found. We still have some of the copies that he made, and I have the original copy, that he made of the strip, that was sent to the printer. I was wondering if you could send me a higher resolution copy, of the graphic, than that in your article - In return, would send you a scan of his original hand drafted copy of the Hall of Fame of the Air, installment. I would post it here, in the comments, but that doesn’t seem to be a feature of this comment format. Email is: pogdaddle@gmail.com
