  Aircraft is a Curtiss SNC-1. Is it possible the title is a misprint? Could the first name be "Ovida" rather than "Oyida"? Never heard of the latter - but maybe I don't get around much ;-)

  Love those pants! Anyone know what that style is called? Vintage pattern citations welcome...

  Excellent posed picture..hokey though because the rivets are already driven, and, more importantly, there always had to be a "bucker" holding a bucking bar tool which caused the other end of the rivet to expand. If he were really driving a rivet by himself, his left hand would have to be holding the bucking bar on the other side of the skin/rib. Neal
