Aero Commander 520 in flight over land

Black and white aerial photograph

A black and white aerial view of a twin-engine Aero Comander 520 in flight over unidentified land mass, above residential and commercial or industrial buildings, thin cloud formations and distant mountainous land visible; tail number N4136B is legible. Stamp on reverse reads "Duplicates of this photograph are available at / PHOTOGRAPHY / BY / BILL GLEI Brown Studio TE20131 / 717 SOUTH PACIFIC AVENUE SAN PEDRO, CALIFORNIA / File Number 765-8". (Possibly the Aero Commander 520 used to transport KIALOA I crew during the 1962 San Diego - Acapulco race, based on notation on similar photo, 2021.12.52.) Image very slightly out of focus, in excellent condition. Overall: 8 x 10 in.
