Important 1927 photograph of famous race car driver Norman Batten recovering from burns he sustained while driving his flaming car (completely on fire) to a finish at the Indianapolis 500. He would end up dying tragically the next year when his clean vessel sank! A rare image from an important rare driver. Photo presents well with pinholes from publication being the only major flaws.
