San Francisco Fliers, circa 1915
(c) Bill Roddy, 2001

I bought these six photographs many years ago, and know little about them. They were taken by the H. S. Crocker Co. of San Francisco, and I believe were  promotional efforts for the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition. One shows a pilot in a monoplane and a crash scene of the same plane in San Francisco Bay.
