...their airs above ground: one man performed slow aerobatics in his Starduster while listening to Strauss waltzes over his on-board earphones; another, goggled and scarfed like the Red Baron himself, eased his bulbous-nosed Der Jager into the friendly skies. There were also rides in a Ford Tri-Motor to be had for a mere $10 and the Red Devil Acrobatic Biplane Squad to watch as it performed an amazing array of intricate patterns and loops and dives...

To get this 80-lb. flying machine off the ground, its developer, Larry Mauro of San Jose, Calif, runs as fast as he can for 25 feet. Says he: "In this plane you can find pockets of lift...

Cronin's, on Mt. Auburn St. near the Treadway Motor Inn, is our personal favorite.
