Description:
- The central drawing on this sheet is an A-shaped runway scheme inscribed in pentagon within the square site. The site plan is surrounded by smaller conceptual sketches of different runway plans. The drawing on the verso shows the same A-shape runway scheme, but with a tri-lobed outline.

DR1987:0399
Description:
- This drawing is blackened with graphite on the verso so that the design could be transferred to another surface, in this case the submitted competition panel, DR1987:0359. There are drops of black watercolour and a series of black ink lines in the upper right corner. These media were used for the submitted panel and their presence here also suggests that this drawing was used in preparation of the submitted panel. There are a series of design sketches, along the left side and at the centre of the drawing, which appear to deal with the relationship of the airfield to hangars.

DR1987:0400
Description:
- These sketches are mostly drawings for runway designs within the square site plan of the Los Angeles Municipal Airport project, with an elevation showing the massing of forms for the airport buildings. There are also at least three sketches for a segmentally-arched structure, possibly elevations for Lloyd Wright's second project for a shell for the Hollywood Bowl. This second project was commissioned in 1928; it was to be an elliptical shell, quarter-circular in elevation.
