Through the lens

U.S. Air Force Airman 2nd Class Dennis Blank, Recon Record photographer, prepares to take a picture of a firefighter operating a fire extinguisher at Shaw Air Force Base, S.C., 1966. The Recon Record was the base newspaper in the 1960s, providing information to the base and community audiences, just as today’s Shaw News provides information to the 20th Fighter Wing, tenant units and local community.
