Description
Photographic portrait of a mysterious "woman" aviator, probably Lincoln Beachey in disguise, at the controls of a biplane at the Dominguez Hills Air meet, 1912. The pilot is seated at center and is wearing a light jacket, dark skirt, dark tights, leather gloves, and a light cloth around the head. The pilot is holding a large steering wheel. The wooden frame of the aircraft is visible around the aviator, and the engine can be seen in the background at left. Two men are standing behind the plane at right. Photoprint reads: "stunt flyan"
