The Tribune photo, dated January 2, 1949, has the following caption on the back: "The Okalnad Municpal Aiorport as it appears today from the air just as the pilot or passengers sees it as he comes into the approach lanes from the east..." At right center are three large hangars, and two smaller shop buildings running vertically across the bottom of the photo. Aircraft are on the tarmac, nosed into the hangars. San Leandro Bay is at right upper, and San Francisco Bay is at left.
