Clipping caption glued on verso: "Miss Antoinette Waitkus / Lieut. Felix Waitkus / 'Happy landing!' said Miss Waitkus as she bid good-bye to her brother Lieut. Felix Waitkus as he 'revved' his motor at the start of the five plane race at the county airport Sunday. But it was almost an unhappy landing. Lieutenant Waitkus made a forced 'dead stick' landing when his motor stalled 1,000 feet in the air. He took second place. Picture by Wisconsin News Staff Photographer."
