Photograph showing Carol Mangold of Portland holding her pet cat on September 22, 1928. A month earlier, Mangold had loaned the cat, named Alba Barba, to pilot Tex Rankin to take with him on a national air race from New York to Los Angeles. The black cat was one of two “jinxes” Rankin deliberately adopted for the race; the other was to enter his plane under the number 13. This photograph was taken upon Rankin’s return to Portland. The Oregon Journal published a Page 3 story about the return of Rankin and the cat on September 23, 1928. The story was headlined “Rankin and Jinx Cat Back Home; Everybody Glad.” See related image Nos. 371N5921, 371N5922, 371N5923, 371N6141, and 371N6150.

Photograph, taken August 24, 1928, of a Portland girl, Carol Mangold, handing pilot Tex Rankin her pet cat to take with him on a national air race from New York to Los Angeles. A cropped version of this photograph was published on Page 2 of the Oregon Journal on August 24, 1928, under the headline “Tex is a Modern Ajax.” The photograph had the following caption: “Tex Rankin, about to set sail for the East to enter the national air races, decides to put an end for all time to hoodoos. Not content with entering his bus under the number 13, he takes along a black cat, borrowed for the occasion from little Carol Mangold, No. 1429 Mississippi avenue. The cat’s name is Alba Barba, which is Latin for something-er-another. But anyway, ‘Alba’ doesn’t mean black, even if the cat is. Ajax, of Greek mythology, who defied the lightning, has nothing on the Portland flier.” The photograph accompanied a story headlined “Rankin and His Jinxes Go East to Start Derby.” See related image Nos. 371N2073, 371N5920, 371N6220, and 371N6222.
