Handwritten on the back of the photo "Oakland Airport compass swinging table. used 10-18-28." Photo shows a biplane parked on the runway at the Oakland Airport. Two men dressed in pilots outfits (trousers tucked into kneehigh boots, leather jackets, scarf and leather helmet) are standing with another man dressed in a suit by the plane. The newspaper has drawn something that looks like a target on the ground underneath the plane. In the background are several smaller buildings of the airport and Hangar No. 1 with "Oakland" painted on the roof.
