Description
Photograph of group of biplanes flying in formation, ca.1950. At center, a group of eighteen identical biplanes can be seen flying in a large pointed formation. Two sets of wings and a frontal propeller is visible on each biplane. Also, a small emblem in the shape of a star can be seen on the top surface of each wing. The planes are darkly-colored, and stripes of varying colors can be seen on the wingspan above the body of the plane. In the background, large clouds fill the sky where the planes fly.
