Description: Evelyn "Bobbi" Trout, left, with Louise Thaden, right. Both are holding their flying caps in their hands. Thaden watches as Trout adjusts her tie.
Trout and Thaden both participated in the inaugural Women's Air Derby from Santa Monica to Cleveland in August, 1929. Thaden came in first place while Trout arrived last due to engine trouble. This photograph was either taken on the day of the derby race, before take-off, or shortly before.
This photograph is likely related to the article, "Girl Air Derby to Start Today," Los Angeles Times, 18 Aug 1929: A1.
Caption: Text from negative sleeve: Trout, Bobby Pilot, 1929
