[Curtiss Fledgling (Model 51) flying low over field]

Photograph of a Curtiss Fledgling (Model 51) aircraft, piloted by Richard Llewellyn Roger Atcherley, flying low over the field at the National Air Races, Cleveland, Ohio, 1931.

Caption on adjacent album page: "Hopping, skipping and jumping around the field he went. But like all playful boys he found much delight in dipping his wings into the mud puddles and splashing about in a ripping old way." Part of a scrapbook related to Dorothy (Hester) Stenzel's participation in the 1931 National Air Races in Cleveland, Ohio, circa 1931.
