Photographed from a low angle at Cannes Airport in 1954, Porfirio Rubirosa strikes a poised figure atop the wing of his private plane. Dressed in a light-colored overcoat with his hands in his pockets, he gazes into the distance against a vast, overcast sky. The aircraft is a converted North American B-25 Mitchell, its gleaming, riveted metal engine nacelle prominent in the foreground. This specific plane would later feature as the "Berlin Express" in the 1970 film *Catch-22*. A small ladder rests against the wing on the tarmac below.
