This display-worthy image features a Sikorsky S-55 / H-19 naval helicopter, numbered 21, flying across a dramatic mountain landscape. The aircrafts side profile and sweeping background create a striking combination of aviation history and scenic photography.
The S-55 served extensively in transport, rescue, and naval roles. The roundel and naval-style markings suggest an operator believed to be connected with Italian naval aviation. The mountain has a volcanic appearance, but the exact landmark and location are not identified.
