The meteorological conditions for take-offs and landings at the Los Angeles municipal airport are excellent. The wind blows in two directions only -- up or down the Los Angeles river valley. The prevailing direction of the wind from sunset to sunrise is North, from sunrise to sunset, South. The only variation is when there is a well-defined area of low pressure in southern California interfering with the tide-like regularity of the local winds. Major Moseley is pointing to the south and indicates the wind direction" -- typed note attached to verso.
