"The All American Aircraft Show in Detroit marks the first invasion of the new industry into the stomping ground of our old pet - the automobile. There are many who feel that Detroit may become as noted for the production of aircraft as it is now for the mass production of automobiles. With many of the basic needs taken care of through the established automotive industries Detroit should have little difficulty in establishing herself in this place . . . the show is two-fold in its purpose. It will not only acquaint the possible future prospect with the various makes and types of planes available for his use at the present time . . . but it will also serve the purposes of the manufacturers and dealers" (Popular Aviation, May, 1928, p. 44).
