The "People's Aviation Meet" poster is a magnificent piece of early American aviation advertising, produced for the 3rd International Aviation Meet held at Dominguez Field, Los Angeles from January 20-28, 1912, managed by Dick Ferris and printed by Western Litho Co. of Los Angeles. The richly illustrated design features biplanes, dirigibles, hot air balloons, and parachutists filling the sky above a packed Dominguez Field grandstand, while an Edwardian couple gazes upward in wonder — perfectly capturing the public's awe at the miracle of early aviation. The Dominguez Hills Air Meet was one of the first great international aviation events in America and helped popularise flight for a mass audience.
