I would like to use this photo for an exhibit about the Norden Bombsight at the Norwalk Historical Society Museum. Do you have the image in higher resolution? AND how should it be credited?

THE HIGH AND THE MIGHTY:
What are those swirls around the props?
Each tip of the propeller blade creates
a vortex, moisture in the air condenses
leaving ice crystals. This also happens
in hot humid air.
