Advertising a National Flying Week, Klinger has created an unforgettable image of four anachronistic orange men in identical ruffled collars, their heads, and noses, pointing straight up to the sky, watching the (unseen) activity over head; lettering in orange. One of several variations used in different years, always advertising a flying exhibition. Klinger 74.
