Description
Charles Lindbergh and an unidentified man stand next to a Lockheed Air Express at Vail Field in Montebello. This was the second aircraft designed and created by the Lockheed Aircraft Company after its founding in 1927. The design of the Air Express was based on the original fuselage of the Lockheed Vega, but the wing was raised to a parasol configuration above the fuselage and the cockpit was moved to behind the wing. Only seven Air Express planes were built. Photo dated: May, 1928.
