    Handwritten notes by Oke Sieurin, mechanic, on the back of his photograph of the body of Quentin Roosevelt: "“Please don't show everyone this picture aside from your personal friends.  It is Lt. Roosevelt's plane and body.  A gruesome sight.  This picture was printed by the thousands by the German gov't to be used for propaganda telling how easy the task is to bring down the best American aviator.”
