EARL CHRISTY (1882-1961) AMERICA'S FIRST ALL WOMENS AIR EXHIBITION. 1937. 11x14 inches, 28x35 1/2 cm. Condition B / B+: tears and creases at corners; printed on card. Two organizations lay claim to the title Chicago Girls Flying Club; both were active in the 1930s, and both sponsored events at Chicago's airfields. As no historic accounts exist for an event as significant as "America's First All Womens Air Exhibition," it is likely this was small show that used large words to try and capture an audience. Christy was a famous pin-up artist and magazine illustrator, his lovely girls appearing on the covers of such magazines as Photoplay.
