That first head shot image posted of his hair parted on the left is reversed.. I found the full image on find a grave which is also reversed... the shirt is buttoned on the wrong side.. Men's shirt buttons are on the right not the left.. image reversed. So, he parts his hair on the right.. not Cooper. image reversed. Good catch Fly! You certainly have a knack for spotting details in images. Thanks for your time. Ever thought about finding stolen art (in addition to guitars)? There is actually a public database: https://artcrimes.fbi.gov/ I don't agree that a hair part should exclude anyone automatically, but I suppose it is something not only of habit (which could be changed) but also where a person's hair naturally parts. This couple is fascinating. Their story kept coming up now and then in my Cooper searches, and now I know why... many different commenters noted he could have been Cooper. Even Ryan chimed in once: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boeing 377 0 #66577 6 hours ago Trivia issue. No such thing as an NB6 or NB8 parachute canopy. NB is Navy Back and refers only to harness-container assemblies not canopies that they might contain. In USN service NB6 normally had a 26 ft conical canopy and NB8 had a 28 ft C9 canopy. But riggers and sport jumpers didn’t always follow military convention.

Is this wave somehow referring to his shades or a marcelled hair wave? I've always taken this to mean that he the front of his hair, where it was parted, was more wavy than the rest. Probably had a bit of volume to it as well as though mostly his hair was slicked back but slightly higher in the front. Think Cary Grant or another leading man from that era. Wavy hair is just the stop between straight and curly hair and there are a lot of different levels of waviness. It's nothing to do with sunglasses; I'd say the black and white picture there is the closest to this description. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
