Photograph of United Airlines commercial airliner, showing crowd in foreground, ca.1940. At center, a large airliner is shown stationary in a large, open cement lot. Near the tail of the plane, a small shield emblem is visible with the words "United Airlines". A small staircase is positioned next to this emblem connecting to the door of the plane. On the right wing, a series of dark alphanumeric characters is seen. In the foreground, a crowd of people stand near a fence separating them from the cement lot. To the right, a small lightly-colored shuttle with several windows is visible. In the extreme background, large mountains can be seen framed against a cloudy sky.

本照片拍摄于约1940年，主体为美国联合航空公司（United Airlines）的商业客机，画面前景可见人群。画面中央，一架大型客机静置于开阔的大型水泥停机坪内。客机尾翼附近，可见印有“United Airlines”字样的小型盾形徽章；该徽章旁设有小型登机梯，连通客机舱门。客机右翼上可见一组深色字母数字混合标识。前景处的人群聚集在围栏旁，该围栏将人群与水泥停机坪分隔开来。画面右侧可见一架带有多扇舷窗的浅色小型摆渡车。远景尽头，连绵的大型山脉映衬在多云的天空之下。
