Description |
Flower Shipment from SFO, 1961. Black and white negative shows two workers with a flower shipment on an American Airlines airplane at the San Francisco International Airport (SFO). Boxes of flowers are stacked on a raised forklift, with the boxes just outside of the airplane's cargo hold. "AIRfreight" is painted on the side of the airplane under the cockpit. A man in work clothes operates the forklift from the tarmac below. Next to him is a second man who stands with his back to the camera. He wears a shirt that says "AIRBORNE" and holds a small package that says "LAX." A propeller blade of a different aircraft appears in the foreground at upper left. Part of a series. |
