A blurry-lOoking snapshot of a half
opened parachute is among the priced
collection OF pictures treasured by Jack
Lynch, the Butte aviator, who is now
president of the ChicagO-NOrthwest
Air Transport company. The picture
Is q bum snapshot, as they say. 1t
doesn't mean much to any one unless
Lynch explains. But il is the most
daring picture ever taken by any
photographer, amateur or professional.
The snapshot artist was none other
than Charles A. Lindbergh. 1t was
snapped when Indy didn't think he
had q chance for his life. His para
chute had not opened. A few seconds
later he expected to be dashed to death
on the ground.
When he realized his peril, %Lindbergh
decided to leave a record of the failure
o ftne parachute for science to ponder.
He pulled his vestpocket kodak out n
snapped the picture Of the ~half-opened
parachute above him as he was whirling
through space toward the earth. An
instant later he gave another tug at the
ropes. the parachute opened and he
landed safely.
The snapshot shows O side of Lind
bergh's character. One does not wonder
that he hoped off alone across the At
lanttc.
The incident occurred at Stratton.
Colo, late In 1922, when Lynch and Lind
bergh were giving the crowd a treat,
Lindbergh with -wing-walking and a para
chute jump. aid Lynch stunning with
his plane.
Slim got out on the wing that day
and jumped off like he had a hundred
times before" says Lynch in explaining
the odd and blurry snapshot that would
only show as a smudge in a newspaper.
HE went down several hundred feet
and the ratlines wouldn't work One side
Of the chute opened some, but the other
was still collapsed. Slim worked himself
out of trouble, though, and landed safely.
THE next day he showed me the pic
ure. I thought 1t might be worth some
thing to analyze chute troubles If I
landed hard enough to finish me-" Slim
told me-"
At any rate the chute was a good one.
Indy in his book remarks that "a chute
is q good one If 1T opens, and that II 1t
doesn't open n will never use it any
more"
The snapshot has attracted consid-
cradle attention from those who have
seen 1t and 1t is one Of many made by
Lindbergh in his travels with q tiny
camera.
