Description
Welcome to my auction - Up for your consideration is this original 1956 photo of Colonel James Neefus and Lt. Col Gilbert Percy standing in front of an HR2S-1 or the
Sikorsky CH-37 Mojave
. The photo was taken at the U.S. Marine Corps Air Station, Quantico and was used as a promotional piece for the 1956 National Aircraft Show to be held at Will Rogers Field, Oklahoma City. The photo was originally made for Major A.B. Ferguson Marine Corps
Headquarters
with info stamped on back and also has the original paper (has come loose from the back) put out by the Information Office for the aircraft show as shown.
The Sikorsky CH-37 Mojave (company designation S-56) U.S. Navy/U.S. Marine Corps designation of the time of HR2S. The S-56 came into being as an assault transport for the United States Marine Corps (USMC), with a capacity of 26 fully equipped marines. An order for the aircraft was placed in 1951with deliveries of the HR2S-1 beginning in July 1956. This photo is dated August 2, 1956, probably one of the first to arrive.
