“Flying on Display: Aviation at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition” celebrates the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition (PPIE) held along San Francisco’s northern shore in the Presidio, Fort Mason, and Harbor View, a wetland area now known as the Marina District. Technology was a centerpiece of PPIE, and from February through December, close to nineteen million visitors delighted at displays of daily flying demonstrations. On view in this exhibition are images that capture early aviation at the fair, reproduced from prints of the original glass slides made in 1915 by the Cardinell-Vincent Company, official photographer of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition.
