Description

This aged broadside poster announces a daredevil air show event scheduled for Saturday, May 14th, 1921, at Armstrong Field in Tiffin, Ohio, featuring wing walking, aerial trapeze, stunt flying, and a 5,000-foot parachute drop from an aeroplane. Tiffin is a small city in Seneca County in northwestern Ohio, and events like this reflected the post-World War I era boom in barnstorming exhibitions across American small towns. The bold typeset text lists a full day's program including two bands, a parade, and a big ball game, capturing the festive community spirit of early aviation spectacles.
