1910 Aviation Meet 
Los Angeles Times file photo
January 1910: Here’s a photo taken inside one of the tents that was erected at Dominguez Field to serve as a temporary hangar. According to the handwritten information on the back, the man at the controls is “Col. Johnson of Frisco in his Curtiss machine.” The man on the left is C.B. Harmon, the balloonist of the New York. On the right, Glenn Curtiss. Notice that the engine is mounted behind the pilot and is driving a “pusher” propeller.
