Vintage Photograph Mondays

From Vintage Photographs

Here's another little mystery for this week – a photo montage of pilot, plane and crop dusting action shot. It's stamped "Bryan's Studio, Clarksdale, Miss." on the reverse. Handwritten on the front is "To the World's best. Jack Robinson." I did some research trying to find this famous crop duster or stunt pilot who signs autographs. What I did find is the more famous Jack Robinson, photographer, who grew up in Clarksdale. Check out this signature – it's kinda similar. And he looks a little like the pilot. Maybe the pilot is his father, Jack Robinson, Sr.?
