Description

This vintage aviation promotional broadside advertises a 'Sensational Dare-Devil of the Air' airshow held on Labor Day in Middleport, featuring a photograph of a biplane in flight and billing performers including Sgt. C.G. Buton, 'Human Fly,' and Don F. Gould, 'Buffalo Ace-Pilot.' The aged, yellowed newsprint and bold hand-set typography evoke the barnstorming era of the early 20th century, when traveling air shows drew large crowds to small-town celebrations across the United States. Middleport is a village in Niagara County, New York, and this poster is preserved as part of the San Diego Air and Space Museum's archival collection documenting early American aviation history.
