Maybe out of context, hopefully not.....
My father left my mother and his three sons in 1953 when I was 6 yrs old. He emigrated to America (New York) and formed a company called 'Aerosystems Inc'. After 38 yrs (!) I discovered my father was living on Long Island (NY). I went to America and met him for the first time in all that time and he took me to his Long Island home where we had a VERY long chat about what he had been doing with his life since leaving us in the lurch. During this conversation he said one of the things he had done was to design and build the cameras on Gary Powers' U2. His name was Richard Aubrey Hayes - I wonder if anyone reading this forum can confirm any credence in this. I know he was a genious and photography was his 'bag'.
Thanks in anticipation......
