Photograph of four men posing with a pilot in a U.S. Air Mail plane, ca.1925. At center, a group of four men wearing formal attire and ties can be seen standing beside a pilot seated in the cockpit of a plane. The pilot is seen wearing the traditional pilot's cap with goggles across his forehead. The second man on the left is seen staring at a small letter in his hand. Similarly to his right, one of the men is seen holding out a small letter to the pilot. Between the four men standing on the ground, a small emblem on the side of the plane in the shape of two wings is seen with the words "U.S. Air Mail" inscribed.
