Title
Rolling the Greater Rockford onto its Landing Gear.
Description
Several men in parkas embrace the Stinson aircraft in preparation to flip the plane onto its wheels. Hassell's autobiography, A Viking with Wings (1987, p. 186) states, "After 40 years in a glacier ice trap, The Greater Rockford is about to be flipped back on her landing gear. The recovery crew already has removed her wings."
