It was a Kodak slide that was in an envelope wrapped in a tissue. All that was written on it was &#8220;B-47 Tail&#8221;. Marano was unaware of it and I have spent considerable time looking for its case with no luck. There are multiple b-47 cases in blue book, but none with photos. Through internet searches, I have dated the age of the slide to be between 1949 and 1957. This puts it in the time period of the RB-47 multistate event of July 1957. Though it is most likely a glare and probably not involved with this case, I believe it is unseen by the public before. If you have any thoughts or ideas of someone how knows more about the case let me know.
