The late Nelson B. Gilbert was a United States Korean War hero and prisoner of war who took thousands of aerial photographs across enemy lines of North Korea’s secret weapons arsenals and military positions. On one photographic mission, Captain Gilbert’s plane was shot down, he was shot, captured, escaped, and then was kept in hiding for months by a local Korean family. Mr. Gilbert’s work was shown in The Smithsonian Museum as well as many other museums. Gilbert’s famous scene of a soldier kneeling in front of a large cross in Korea with sun rays falling down on him was the cover of a Parade Magazine issue back in the 1950s, and it also hung in the Vatican.
