Description
A slightly elevated panoramic view of the dedication celebration of Western Air Express in Alhambra. There is a white terminal building on the left, decorated with red, white, and blue bunting, and a hangar on the right, similarly decorated. There is a large airplane between the two buildings, a smaller airplane in the bottom right corner, and a platform with people on it adjacent to the hangar. A tightly packed crowd surrounds the planes and platform, and stretches back as far as the terminal building. The Good Year blimp is parked on the runway in the background. Writing in white in the bottom right reads "Photo by F.M. Huddleston ; Dedication W.A.E. 4-17-1930."
