A page from a family photo album pairs a 1918 newspaper clipping reporting aviator Sam Purcell's victory in the Mt. Tamalpais Aero Derby — a Bay Area air race flown from San Francisco's Marina around the mountain and back — with two candid portraits of family members. The clipping captures the public excitement surrounding early civil aviation during the World War I years, when air races and flying clubs like the Pacific Aero Club drew wide newspaper coverage.
