Russian aviators meet the press after breaking the non-stop flight record, flying from Moscow to San Jacinto, CA. July 14, 1937.

Description:
Soviet aviators -- Col. Mikhail Gromov, pilot, Maj. Andrei Yumashev, co-pilot, and Capt. Sergei Danilin, navigator -- are welcomed after breaking the nonstop flight record, flying from Moscow and landing in San Jacinto, California, via the North Pole. The trio flew over 6700 miles in 62 hours and 12 minutes. The original plan was for the airplane to land in San Diego, but fog made landing the Russians’ large monoplane on San Diego’s short runways dangerous, and so the crew landed instead in the semi-desert fields surrounding San Jacinto. After landing, the crew was quickly taken to the nearby March Field Air Base, where they answered questions from reporters after a shower and a quick meal. July 14, 1937.Pictured from left to right are Russian Consul Grigori Gokhman, Andrei Yumashev, and Sergei Danilin.

Meeting for the residents of Riverside Drive, who were affected by the Elysian Park landslide, Los Angeles, November 1937

Description:
Town meeting for residents of Riverside Drive, whose lives were affected when a landslide occurred in Elysian Park, behind their homes. A fissure had been slowly growing on Buena Vista Peak in the park for about a week until it finally ripped open and dumped 1,500,000 tons of dirt and rock down the slope and onto Riverside Drive. The debris covered 600 feet of Riverside Drive, forcing traffic to be rerouted and attracting thousands of spectators from as far away as New York. Because the crack had been identified early on, damage and injuries were largely avoided
