Unnumbered Negs.: U.S. Customs -- Actor John Wayne, right, almost a 'commuter' to Mexico, watches while Customs Inspector Ron Williams pokes through his luggage on return by Compania Mexicana de Aviacion plane, which makes L.A. Airport truly 'International.' Like most travelers, Wayne 'wished he'd packed a little more carefully' when Inspector opens up the kiesters. Lapp Negs. 9-10: Flower shop? Sure, in a real tropical setting, where clerk Ardis Gerard puts orchid leis, just in from Hawaii by air, on Ruth Elder, daring and renowned aviatrix who flew the Atlantic -- almost -- in 1927 going down in the water just short of goal. (There's also barbershop, back branch, at airport, plus gift shops, newsstands, etc.); Supplementary material continues: "Lapp Negs... 3/4: Hunger is a big item with travelers, keeping a battery of cooks busy behind the scenes at Flight Deck restaurant. Here Maitre d' Tommy Maruca, foreground, business suit, checks on busy chefs who can turn up almost any delicacy on a moment's notice. 28/29: Unseen voice behind public address system here is Jackie Tracy, who shares duties with six other girls, around the clock. All must speak English, spanish and French to qualify for work; never 'ad lib'.

配套说明文字如下："本系列为机场‘幕后布局’的配图注解。无编号底片组：美国海关场景——右侧的演员约翰·韦恩几乎要成为‘墨西哥通勤旅客’，他在搭乘墨西哥航空（Compania Mexicana de Aviacion）班机返程时，正注视着海关检查员罗恩·威廉姆斯搜查其行李，该航空公司的航线让洛杉矶机场真正成为‘国际机场’。如同大多数旅客一样，当检查员打开其行李时，韦恩不禁感慨‘真希望自己当时打包时更细心一点’。拉普底片组（Lapp Negs.）9-10号：花店？没错，在充满热带风情的真实机场场景中，职员阿迪丝·热拉尔正将刚由航空货运从夏威夷运来的兰花花环佩戴在露丝·埃尔德身上——这位大胆且声名卓著的女飞行员曾在1927年尝试跨大西洋飞行，最终在距目的地仅咫尺之遥时迫降海面。（机场内还设有理发店、后勤分部，以及礼品店、报刊亭等配套服务设施）"
配套说明继续写道："拉普底片组3/4号：旅客的餐饮需求是机场运营的一大重点，这让飞行甲板餐厅幕后的一众厨师终日忙碌。图中身着西装的餐厅领班汤米·马鲁卡（Tommy Maruca）正站在前方，督导忙碌的厨师们在极短时间内烹制出各类珍馐佳肴。28/29号：公共广播系统背后的幕后播报员是杰基·特雷西，她与另外六名女职员轮班值守，提供全天候服务。所有工作人员均需掌握英语、西班牙语与法语方可胜任该岗位，且严禁即兴发挥。她手边的卡片索引即为完整工作脚本，每一种播报场景都配有对应卡片，标注了需对着麦克风播报的精准措辞，日均播报量约达950次。【完整信息请参阅原始底片套封】
