Original – Take-off of America's first "rocket-assisted" airplane, an Ercoupe fitted with a GALCIT developed solid propellent 28 pound thrust JATO (Jet Assisted Take-Off) booster

Reason

I feel guilty, as if my lengthy delay in restoring the image caused the previous nomination to go bottoms up. Decent quality for the age and candidness, EV is quite high.
