Four postcards of the January 1910 Aviation Meet in Los Angeles, taken by the C.C. Pierce studio, have been listed on EBay. The meet was held at Dominguez Field and is one of the major events in the history of Los Angeles – and in the history of aviation. Bidding starts at $40.
The Gene Autry Museum has a really interesting exhibit up now called Dreamcatchers, I believe. It’s about early flight and photography, and there are some photos from the Dominguez meet in it.

@Mary: Cal State L.A. has quite a bit of material on the 1910 Aviation Meet (actually, there were several) since it’s near where Dominguez Field used to be. My favorite photo is a man on horseback watching the airplanes.

@Lee: This has been a test of the emergency broadcast system of the L.A. Daily Mirror. This is only a test. Had this been an actual emergency you would have been instructed to turn to the Conelrad station in this area. This has only been a test.
