Bump. I thought these were interesting Model T era photos in the fact that it shows the mix of different make cars in mid-May of 1921.

This a nice one Jay, Best photo ever. The first photo, I wonder what that 3 wheeled buggy is?

Wow, I would have expected a field full of Jennies. Instead we get to see a Standard J-1, a bunch of weird monocoque bipes, the Remington-Burnelli RB-1, a bunch of Jennies in back and just about a whole squadron of Ansaldo fighters front and centre! Neat!

Interesting how three cars in the bottom photo have their tops tipped back, maybe to allow a view of the sky while keeping some shade. I have never seen that done before. Great pics, Jay.

David whatever the smallest plane is, it's tiny! Too bad that pic isn't a higher resolution. With resources like Aerofiles.com and the Flying And Glider Manual reprints I'm sure the little guy could be ID'ed if only we could see it more clearly.
