The Aviation Building is designed to give visitors the im-
pression of arriving at a large airport. In the central portion
of the structure is an exhibit of the latest types of planes and
of the plane of tomorrow. The dome-like rear portion holds an
invisibly suspended transport plane with propellers moving
as if in flight. The illusion of motion is created by projection
of moving clouds and night effects against the curved back-
ground. At the floor level will be exhibits. The architect is
William Lescaze, with J. Gordon Carr as associate.
