Description:
At the beginning of powered flight, most airplanes required only a stretch of grassy plain 1,500 feet long for take-off and landing, and a converted barn served as both terminal and hangar. Only with the advent of a profitable commercial aviation industry in the late 1920s, some twenty-five years after Wilbur and Orville Wright’s historic flight, did the modern airport(...)

Description:
- This group of correspondence, clippings and other documents was compiled by the architect, Lloyd Wright, for his own record while he was pursuing the commission for Boeing Airport, Burbank, Los Angeles County, California. He was not successful in obtaining the commission. The correspondence includes letters to and from Lloyd Wright, drafts for and carbon copies of these same letters, and telegrams to Lloyd Wright. Other documents include three newspaper clippings, an estimate and notes. Of the clippings, one reports on the beginning of work on Boeing Airport, the second announces a new meteorological station for pilots in the San Fernando Valley, and includes details of other aviation industry investments in the area, and the third is another account of the initiation of Boeing Airport. The latter clipping is folded up with a sheet noting the address of Lloyd St. John. Although the estimate is not identified by project name, it was probably prepared for Lloyd Wright's Boeing Airport proposal, which included an airport, manufacturing plant and other amenities, all mentioned in the estimate.
