This is, we believe, an actual color photograph of Frankie Thomas as Tom Corbett.
If so, it is the only real color photo I have ever seen from this show. Note that it has severely faded and no doubt colors of the dyes have changed over the years. It is not a first-generation photo, so we can't take the colors literally. Nevertheless, it gives us a some idea of what the uniforms looked like. For a true representation, see the portrait of Jan Merlin, ("Roger Manning- The True Colors"), presented earlier in this second volume. Notice the pose- Is this the same photo as the backgroundless "Your Basic Tom Corbett" in this volume? |
