Description
Photograph of aviator J. Clifford Turpin aloft with a passenger at the Dominguez Hills Air Meet, 1912. Turpin's large Wright biplane is at center, flying towards the camera. The silhouettes of two people can be seen at the center of the aircraft, and they are flanked by two large propellers. On the ground directly below the biplane is a Curtiss biplane, and a small group of people is standing around it. A larger group of people is standing at right near a wooden fence, and a very large group of spectators in automobiles lines the runway at left.
