"The two high spots of Los Angeles sports were the first aviation meet ever held in the world-and the Olympic Games.
"The aviation show was in 1910 on a high mesa of the old Dominguez ranch, near the scene of the Battle of the San Pedro where Mervine's American sailors retreated before [p. 186] the ancient pueblo cannon . . . [p. 186] There were only two aviators who figured to any extent-a Frenchman named Paulhan . . . The other flyer was Glenn Curtiss a pioneer manufacturer who came to sell planes . . ."
