   She was something else, whether it was stuff like this or later as the first female war correspondent, taking fire in Italy, being the first female photographer to fly a combat mission in a U.S. Army Air Force B-17 Flying Fortress and documenting the U.S. Army’s liberation of the Nazi concentration camp at Buchenwald: Margaret Bourke-White, photographer for LIFE magazine, prepares to take a photo from one of the eagles on the 61st floor of the Chrysler Building in New York City in 1934.

     @acsawdey @mattblaze @BrianJopek kodachrome was launched one year later. Agfacolor, in 1932, but I''m sure the photo was taken in B&W

     @mattblaze @BrianJopek Color film would have been pretty niche in 1934 .. we have some large format color transparencies from a little later than that in my family -- but only because my grandfather was a research chemist at Kodak working on color dyes.

     @BrianJopek Is that colorized? I've never seen that image in color before.

     (Totally agree she was a badass, who made many of my favorite images)
