Description

Major Al Williams is in Fort Worth planning a Cadet Instruction Tour with Brigadier General W. F. Kraus for cadets. "Major Al Williams is going to give Uncle Sam's aviation cadets the benefit of some of the things he has learned in more years of flying than he is willing to admit." The two are sitting side by side, likely at General Kraus's desk. Both are looking at the camera and pointing at a small piece of paper. General Kraus is wearing his military uniform, while Major Williams is wearing a light-colored button down and a light-colored tie. Some of the items in the foreground include a paperweight, Prince Albert tobacco, an ashtray, and more. A poster of an aircraft is hanging on the wall behind them.
