Photograph of lights spelling out "LA" at the Los Angeles International Airport, ca.1930(?). At center, the letters LA slant upwards, a stark bright contrast against the dark night sky. Above the letters is a small sphere of light, presumably at the end of a post or tower. The background is pitch black.
