[Leica] IMG: A Couple of Airport Images

[Jim Nichols]

Thanks for the kind words, Tina.  At the time that airplane began 
airline service, in 1937, I was already clipping airplane pictures from 
my grandmother's Life Magazine.  Now, I tried to create the same type of 
photos I recall from those early days.  Glad you liked it.
