AR T SMITH AND HIS W IFE
Photo by Chief Yeoman G. P. Pitkin.
Art Smith delighted San Diegans with his wonderful and dare-devil exhibition of
flying early in August. There is only one Art Smith and his use of lighted trailers during
night flights proves not only his originality but likewise wrote the path of his
maneuvers indelibly upon the minds of his admiring spectators. He claimed that he
was going to write San Diego on the sky—and he did—likewise he flew upside down
— looped the loop so many times that one did not care- to count the number.
If the birds have anything on Art Smith they have as yet to prove the fact to those
who saw his wonderful flights in San Diego.
