Description
Photograph of the control tower at the Los Angeles International Airport, in November 1961. The control tower stands tall above the administrative building beneath it, all to the left of a row of flags which stand behind the pool bearing the 'flame of freedom'. A group of automobiles park facing right from a parking lot at left. In front of these stand several palm trees, framing the picture. In the rightmost background, a few more cars can be seen at a parking lot across the street. Utility poles line the road.
