Mr. America

Frank Leight by Lon of NY.  I consider this photo one of Lon's best in pose and lighting. 

Frank was named Mr. America in 1942.  After the war he joined the NYC Police Department where he gave classes in bodybuilding, judo and wrestling.

  1. I am surprised that a "Mr. America" would pose in the raw. Not the he needs to hide that equipment of his. To me, it's surprising the NYPD would hire a male who posed naked.

    1. Lon managed to get several top competitive bodybuilders to pose fully nude, and he also managed to get arrested by the NYPD more than once. For whatever reason, however, his models were not bothered by the cops . . . and this one even became one!
