Re: PR photo that almost stopped operation Market-Garden
Adriano -this is a fascinating topic. Urquhart is still very much (June 2007) with us, living in New York, and retired from a distinguished career with the UN. He has written on the very topic in the 1980's in the New York Review of Books (If I remember correctly), and when contacted over a Television programme in which I was involved expressed some interest in the fate of the famopus pictures. So I see no reason to doubt that they were ever taken. I am sure they were, whether or not they survive however, is another matter. Its unlikely that the Squadron or the Pilots name were ever known to Ryan, and may not even have been known to U.
Best wishes
Chris Going
