- History Biographical
- The National Air Tour was a sort-of competition whereby pilots (one woman) competed for prizes put up by the Ford Company. A crowd of 15,000 were at the Lethbridge Airport to see the tour which was sponsored by the City of Lethbridge. The hangar visible in the photo was demolished circa 1981 to make way for the Labour Club. The Labour Club was demolished in 1994 to make way for a MacDonald's Restaurant.
