Two fly-boys, jockeying for position in the golden heavens behind the controls of their Bleriot Type XI monoplanes, are called into service to lure spectators to this Danish Flight Week, featuring daily races beginning at four o'clock sharp. To make it more convenient to get to the unannounced air strip, officials of the event have arranged for convenient public transport, offering of 25 Ore taxi rides originating at City Hall. Nygaard was a painter and illustrator, and ventured only infrequently into posters.
