- This is from the National Archives website. The lens itself was a little wet (see lower left) and the print had numerous small scratches and artifacts. I doubt there's a higher quality version available. DurovaCharge! 19:16, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- Here's a higher res version from the DOD Media website. --BrokenSphereMsg me 18:51, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
