Description
"Dear Annie, How would you like a flight? We attended Aviation Meet, wiser but much poorer. It was very interesting."-on back of Copy 1 (2008-2206).
"This is the French machine which I saw circle the ground 8 times with an extra passenger then light and run into its tent with the greatest ease. It also left the grounds entirely and disappeared a mere speck in the distance then returned and lit again from where it had started. Mrs. Paulhan rides with her husband after. The propellers of both these machines & the engines are right back of the drivers. Morning-in that long flight Paulhan sailed over San Pedro"-on back of Copy 2 (2008-2207).
