Don Ultang

Donald Theodore Ultang (March 23, 1917 – September 18, 2008) was an American photographer, a pioneer in aerial photography and a Pulitzer Prize winner.

After being hired by The Register, he signed up to participate in a government-funded pilot training program and served in the United States Navy during World War II as a flight instructor.

[6] After Ultang retired, and spent his winters in New Mexico, he began a second career taking nature and landscape photographs until a few years before his death.

A&M's white Wilbanks Smith repeatedly placed hard hits on Drake's black Johnny Bright, breaking his jaw, in an incident caught in a series of images that earned national attention when they appeared on the front page of The Register.

[8] Ultang was one of 18 recipients of the 1952 National Headliner Awards ceremonies held in Atlantic City, New Jersey, winning in the "Sports action picture" category, together with Robinson, for their photographs of the "Johnny Bright Slugging".
