Rogers Airport sits in the centerground, with a large sign reading "Rogers Airport. The Center of West Coast America. Fly City and Cross Country Flights. Instruction" at the right edge of the image. The small clapboard building at the left edge of the image bears a sign reading "General Offices. Rogers Aircraft Inc". Two men stand on the building's steps, one of whom may be Jim Webster, the airport manager. Two airplanes sit at center, in the open land behind the sign, while the hangar sits in the left background. A road crosses the foreground of the image, dividing the airport from the land in the right foreground.
