    sure wish i could get a print of all three drawings – or at least the middle one. grew up right near Loyola University!

    • The top one has the “Library of Congress” stamp. Maybe they could provide you with a high res file, which you could then get printed out. Or failing that, the LA Public Library’s Central Library in downtown as a huge map collection. They might be able to help you.

    Looks like the Blimp Landing Field has shifted to Crenshaw & Adams at the southwest quadrant. They are still portraying “Volunteer” as it was, a short body airship. The side lettering of “INF. LA. 2151” could possibly tell us Inflated (at) Los Angeles on February 15, 1931…..if this is similar to the notations made on railcars showing their service histories.
