Maine Historical Society/MaineToday Media
In 1935 Guy Gannett Publishing Company purchased and subsequently absorbed the Portland Flying Service, along with its 1935 Stinson Monoplane and 35-pound Fairchild F8 Aerial Camera.
This acquisition established an in-house aerial photography division for Gannett. Aerial photographers, holding the camera, daringly leaned out of planes to create images.
