Many thanks for posting this eBay photo here. Even a couple of days later I was able to go in and grab it with a Buy It Now. The picture has now arrived.

Enjoy!

Frank.

Jabby was promoted to Major in 1951. I suspect this pic was after he became US first fighter ace and this was a PRO type shot.

Jabara was killed in 1966 when his daughter lost control of his Jaguar (or Trimph?) near Homestead FL.
