Description
Photograph of a young woman posing with model of aviation field for National Air Races, 1928. At center, a woman wearing a lightly-colored dress, necklace, and flapper hat can be seen holding up a large rectangular model of an aviation field. The model depicts several large runways at its center with small planes moving along them. At the bottom of the image, a building is visible with a message inscribed on its roof. Small automobiles are stationed around the building, and lines of trees can be seen around the border of the model.
