Actress Cleo Mayfield (1888-1954) climbing into (or out of?) the front passenger cockpit of a (then) relatively new and rare (first flown in 1919) Curtiss Oriole. See: www.imdb.com/name/nm2696495/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtiss_Oriole

Great, we can add data to record.

PS LC Name Authority gives her birth date as 1889.

Greg Marcangelo Interesting, her headstone (if this is indeed her headstone) lists her year of birth as 1888. See: www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=11284559 Of course, perhaps this is not her headstone, but another "Cleo Mayfield"'s, and perhaps the information that provided the basis for either birth year was "fudged" - not exactly an uncommon occurrence for those working in theater and film. An interesting discrepancy, nonetheless.

Looks very much like a Curtiss Oriole and if so the year cannot be 1917 since that design didn't appear until 1919. Stig
