An archival flightline photograph capturing the Spirit of St. Louis from a low-angle front-left three-quarter perspective at Dutch Flats. The view highlights the long span of the high wing, the triangulated steel lift struts, the damascened nose cowl, and the streamlined landing gear fairings. Preserved in the Donald A. Hall Estate Collection, this negative documents the completed monoplane during engine run-ups and taxi evaluations prior to its transcontinental departure.
