Description
Photograph of a crowd gathered for an air show at Mines Field, later Los Angeles Airport, ca.1934. The crowd takes up most of the left half of the field, which is separated from the airplanes on the right side by a wire fence. Behind the fence is one of the air show planes, facing north. Three small airplanes sit on the grass behind the people, and a small crowd gathers to look at them. Behind the crowd is a large white structure from which two windsocks fly. In the distance, one can vaguely discern houses, trees and utility poles.
