Title An aerial view of Radioplane Company in Van Nuys, ca.1950

Description Photograph of an aerial view of Radioplane Company in Van Nuys, ca.1950. A series of large one-story buildings and cabins are observable sitting close to each other. To its left, an empty parking lot on a dirt ground is noticeable; further to the left, a second paved parking lot is visible behind a fence. To the right, along the buildings, a dirt road extends from the foreground to the background. Next to it, a third empty parking lot on a dirt ground can be seen. In the foreground, in front of the property, a paved road and a grassy lawn are viewable. Behind the company site, houses and small bushes fill in the background.
