I would have loved to have that copy of the Sunday Chicago Tribune Magazine when I was 13 (in 1968!).
I have that very same Reader's Digest article on the Lafayette. 
I'll see what I can post - though I'm afraid we might be taking this thread off topic.  |
Around '68 or '69 the L.A. Times Sunday Magazine had a largish piece on MvR accompanied by a full page color profile of one of his Albatroses- complete with the little Albatros logo on the tail, perhaps the first time I ever really payed attention to that little detail. The issue is still around here, in the legendary land of "Somewhere" (and the Times was just as twisted, authoritarian, and crummy then as it is now).
