Carl Brashear - Running with a Prosthesis

Carl Brashear desperately wanted to return to his naval diving career.  With an amputated leg, however, he had to prove he could handle the job.  One of the things he did, to keep himself in shape and strengthen his body, was to run.  He had pictures made of his work-outs, thereby providing photographic evidence of his fitness for duty.
