Description

Photograph of five men, showing one man boarding a plane, ca.1930. At center, a group of five men can be seen standing next to a large plane. All the men in the picture can be seen wearing formal clothing and ties. Also, all the men wear hats except for the man on the far right. This man is seen holding papers in his hands while additional papers are jammed into his suit pocket. To his left, the man in the center is seen carrying a large wooden stick with several papers fastened to either end. On the far left, one of the men places his foot on the plane and is seen peering into its interior. In the background behind the men, a small emblem in the shape of a shield can be seen on the plane with the words: "The Gasoline of Power".
