A slightly elevated panoramic view of runways at United Airport in Burbank. The photograph was probably taken from the top of one of the hangars. The Spanish-style terminal is at a distance, right of center, with the Pacific Air Transport building and a hangar to the right. The parking lot, which occupies much of the left side of the image, is filled with automobiles, and many of the people who are not seated on the grass facing the runway are on top of their vehicles. There is only on airplane parked in front of the terminal building, but a few others are visible beyond it. The finding aid describes these airplanes as "military airplanes".
