Caption from published source: "Grandpa promised eleven of his grandchildren their first ride in a plane to Los Angeles, coming home on the train. They took the plane and train by storm! Mary Louise and Louise Whitney Fletcher came along to help me out. There was no air sickness until we were on the sidewalk at the airport. Then the deluge! We had lunch at the Biltmore, then went to the movies. On the way home, they drank the water tank dry in two cars. Home, sweet home!" (Fletcher, 1952, p. 732).
Note on back: E.F. takes grandchildren for first plane ride to L.A.
