A view of Los Angeles Mayor Frank L. Shaw, Howard Hughes, and California Governor Frank Merriam (left to right) dining together at a banquet for Howard Hughes in Los Angeles, California.
Description printed on photograph's accompanying strip of paper: "Howard Hughes' plane heavily guarded leaves hangar at Le Bourget Field, Paris, for the hop to Moscow."
Back of the postcard. Some of the wording is not readable. It looks like the postcard was sent to a woman, Miss Stewart of California, from Paul Smith.
