Aviation Building
Postcard courtesy of Will HIll

The Aviation Building is designed to give visitors the impression of arriving at a large and busy airport. In the central portion of the structure is an exhibit of the latest type of planes and the planes of tomorrow. The done-like rear portion holds an invisibly suspended transport plane with propellers moving as if in flight. The illusion of motion is created by projection of moving clouds and night effects against the curved background. At the floor level are exhibits of agencies co-operation to increase the safety and speed of air travel. The architect is William Lescaze, with J. Gordon Carr as associate.
