Description
The Los Angeles International Air Meet (January 10- 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, at Dominguez Field in present-day Carson, California. Spectator turnout numbered approximately 254,000 over 11 days of ticket sales. The Los Angeles Times called it "one of the greatest public events in the history of the West". Organizers invited pilots of monoplanes, biplanes, balloons, and dirigibles. To reinforce the event's "international" billing, French aviator Louis Paulhan, a notable from the 1909 Reims meet, was invited. No artist credited.
