Description

Before boarding his plane at the National Airport in Washington, D. C., President Harry S. Truman has a hearty handshake for Colonel Henry Myers (left), his former pilot, and Lieutenant Colonel Francis W. Williams (right) who was at the controls of the Sacred Cow for the first time with the President aboard when the Chief Executive took off for a two-week Caribbean and Florida vacation. Colonel Myers, who went along as far as Key West, has been "breaking in" his successor. Others in the background are unidentified.
