  Inscription reads, " To my old friend Charlie Babb. Remembering ourfirst flight together in the "Josephine Ford" from Los Angeles to San Diego in 1926. From your friend Benny Balabeau."

  SDASM Archives Interesting that the photo is signed "Benny Balabeau." Obviously a joke by the man in the photo - Bernt Balchen, who flew the "Josephine Ford" - among numerous other achievements. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernt_Balchen

  According to www.airhistory.org.uk/gy/reg_G-C.html, this is a Fokker Universal. It crashed in 1932.
