Still more surprising, another card (different view) was issued in Italy. Morris Bokor was a great communicator, but rather unfortunate in the spelling of his name, as the Italian card got it as Bokov (future historians will break their necks about that name
).
This card sports the proud Morris Bokor in front of his machine. He wears a typical hat, probably not often worn in the USA.
Bokor could be from Hungarian origin as a 1910 Hungarian biplane is known as the
Bokor II Wegry. As I am at this late hours not up to my best Hungarian this will have to wait till tomorrow
There is at least a possibility that he got back to Hungary (Austro-hungary that is).
