Air India Flight Photo portraying CHE GUEVARA on one of his flight missions during 1950's-60's. Signed at the back by Che Guevara by pencil also noting his well known saying "Hasta la victoria siempre!" meaning- Until victory, always!. He started to write by a black pen but it did not write so he wrote with a pencil.
A perfect memoir got spoiled due to unseasonal rains of Mumbai and not packing properly. This is how the original looked.
