I'm still actively purchasing vintage photos, I do enjoy acquiring airplane related photos, these two caught my eye recently, I do know a little about them, had just enough hints for some internet research... I suspect both photos might have been taken on the same day... And here is what I found out:
Milton Reynolds was an American entrepreneur, known for introducing the first ballpoint pen to be sold in the U.S.... The aircraft seen here was a converted Douglas A26 bomber, Serial Number NX67834... The pilot, Captain William Odom is also frequently credited as Bill Odom. T Carroll Salee is also often credited as Tex Salee and Tex Sallee... Later in 1947 the aircraft flew around the world in 79 hours, a record time for a twin-engined propellor aircraft.
