In 1937, a year after joining the wire service, he'd helped cover the Hindenburg disaster. Seven years later, Lt. Lederhandler waded ashore at Utah Beach on D-Day, two carrier pigeons stowed safely in his bag to wing his undeveloped film back across the English Channel.


this man is a legend. RIP Marty Lederhandler

I bet if you told Marty that people these days can order photo prints from cell phones, he would say "so what? I sent pigeons carrying rolls of film across the english channel to get them developed"

that's hardcore.
