The Los Angeles International Air Meet (January 10 to January 20, 1910) was among the earliest airshows in the world and the first major airshow in the United States. It was held in Los Angeles County, California, at Dominguez Field, southwest of the Dominguez Rancho Adobe in present-day Rancho Dominguez, California.
Louis Paulhan was born in Pézenas in 1883 and was a citzen of Sartrouville, where he lived in Gypaète House, rue Jean Jaurès, now an old people’s home known as "Villa Berthe".
An airship engineer, he showed an acute interest in building scale models and won a competition in which the first prize was the life-size construction of the winning model. In view of the model’s complexity, they preferred to offer him an air-frame. Louis Paulhan soon managed to procure an engine and undertook his apprenticeship as a pilot, a title he was the 10th person in France to conquer. ( Louis Blériot was the holder of licence Nr1.)Louis Paulhan earned public attention at several air shows, especially that of Douai, which took place from July 10th to July 18th 1909, where he smashed the records in altitude (150m) and duration (1h and 07mn), covering 47 km. He triumphed in the London-Manchester race - a 300 km long flight.
After being mobilized, then demobilized, as a fighter pilot in WWI, he became a seaplane builder, and later retired to St-Jean-de-Luz, where he died on February 10th 1963.
Roy Christian was a practicing Medical Doctor in Santa Cruz County at Dominican Hospital Emergency room for many years. A world traveler and Panoramic Camera (Century Panoramic) photographer and lifelong "Camera Nut". An excellent artist and photographer in his own right. He would also take photographs and multiple scan them at high resolution and create panoramic scenes from standard rectangle or square photographs. He traveled to Tibet, Egypt, China, Europe and many other countries to take photographs. We supplied numerous historical photographs including the one used here, to our dear friend Roy, whom we were proud to be friends with since 1975.

Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks at Walpi First Mesa Hopi Village 1920 Photograph

Provenance: Mary Pickford, Elizabeth (Bess) Huggins.

He was Mary Pickford's favorite cinematographer and a personal friend, shooting all of the films in which she starred from 1918 to 1927, before they had a falling out during production of Coquette (1929). He was the first cinematographer to receive an Academy Award, along with Karl Struss, for Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (1927), and won again for The Yearling (1946), with Leonard Smith and Arthur Arling. He was also nominated four times.
Walpi, pueblo (village), Navajo county, northeastern Arizona, U.S., on the edge of a high mesa in the Hopi Indian Reservation. It comprises a group of angular stone houses of two to three stories crowded on a narrow tip of the steep-walled mesa at an elevation of 6,225 feet (1,897 metres). The original pueblo (founded c. 1700) was on a lower part of the mesa, but following the Pueblo Rebellion, the inhabitants moved to the top as a defensive measure against Spanish retaliation. Walpi is known for an antelope ceremony and for snake dances, held during odd years in August and generally closed to non-Hopi spectators. Shitchumovi (Sichomivi) pueblo is adjacent and Hano is nearby.
Pickford was the first Canadian to win an Oscar. She was also the second to win best actress and the first for a role in a film with sound. She was one of the founding members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
In 1919 Pickford took the lead in organizing the United Artists Corporation with Griffith, Charlie Chaplin, and Douglas Fairbanks. In 1920, after the dissolution of her first marriage (1911–19) to actor Owen Moore, she married Fairbanks (divorced 1936). Pickford’s popularity continued unabated in Pollyanna (1920), Little Lord...

Henry Miller was born December 26, 1891 in New York, New York. In 1920 Miller began working for Western Union Telegraph service where his interest in writing began. He soon left for Europe in 1928 where he resided in Paris in 1930. He continued full time with his long and lucrative career as a writer of more than 36 creative and analytical works. Miller's entrance into the writer's circle began with Tropic of Cancer, which still proves to be Miller's most famous work. Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn chronicle Miller's lives and loves as an expatriate in Paris. They were both originally published in France by Jack Kahane at Obelisk Press in the mid-thirties. Soon after the publishing of Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn, Miller's other works to date were published in the United States. During this time it was said that "Miller became a legendary character, a kind of folk hero, the Paul Bunyan of literature, larger than life as exile, bohemian, and rebel, the great champion of freedom of expression and other lost causes...
