- Black and white photograph of Marylin Mosser, now Marylin Koon in white shorts and a striped t-shirt posing and smiling while holding onto a ladder at the side of a plane with one hand and a flight helmet with the other. Visible on the helmet is the phrase "Happy Hooligans" in cursive, which is reference to the North Dakota 119th Fighter Group she commanded before leaving for Arizona where they would allow her to utilize her flight training as a pilot, a responsibility not afforded to women in her home state.
