This photograph was taken shortly after the Santa Cruz-Capitola Airport was officially established in 1934. El Salto Resort, the private retreat of the Lewis Hanchett family, is in the foreground. The tents are part of the encampment of the 250th Coast Artillery, later known as Camp McQuaide. The Capitola Elementary and New Brighton Middle Schools now occupy the site.
