In a dark overcoat, Porfirio Rubirosa climbs onto the fuselage of his private plane, a converted North American B-25 Mitchell, at Cannes Airport in 1954. Positioned over the wing, he steadies himself on the aircraft, which would later feature as the "Berlin Express" in the 1970 film *Catch-22*. The plane’s metallic engine nacelle shows signs of wear, and below, a small ladder rests against the landing gear on the wet tarmac under an overcast sky.
