Grumman Albatross over San Juan, PR

Original caption: "Pictured in flight over San Juan, Puerto Rico, this twin-engined monoplane amphibian is designed for rescue, transport and general utility use. It carries a crew of four, and has accommodations for 12 passengers, or 12 litter cases as a rescue or ambulance aircraft. Planes of this type are based at Coast Guard air stations throughout the United States, and are particularly valuable in off-shore operations. The 'Albatross' with a maximum fuel load has a cruising range of approximately 2,800 nautical miles."; 14 February 1955; Photo No. 7CGD-021455(20); photographer unknown.
