Smiling Sailor

I've had this photo in my Unknown folder for some time now.  I recently found another photo of this model and I believe it had a name for him.  Of course, now I can't find it.  

Vintage Fan 1952 reminded me this is John Langon.

    1. Good job! If I don't have a name I can't really search my archive. It is frustrating.

    2. This model is Roy Batts at AMG. Catalog XT1. He posed in 1958 and was a real sailor! Has worked out with weights just a little, but attributes his build to farm work in North Carolina. Hobby is auto mechanics. He hopes to become an engineer. This is AMG photo XT-1-AF. Catalog pages 2 thru 5 of XT13 show other poses of Roy Batts. There was never a model named John Langon at AMG. I verified this with the BMF. Roy Batts photo is identified in PP Vol 9, No 3, page 4.

  2. Hey, James, I'll send you my seven other photos of Mr. Langon (and a better quality/higher resolution version of this one). Alas, no nudes, nor even a butt shot! 😌
