Unfortunately the picture does not include the name, date, and page of the newspaper. The title states: “Dos Ases de la Aviación” – Two Aviation Aces. The caption states: “El Capitán Emilio Carranza y el Coronel Carlos Augusto Lindbergh después de que aterrizaron en el aeródromo Mitchell de regreso de Detroit a donde ambos fueron para presenciar la inauguración del a Olimpiada Aérea que se efectuó en esa ciudad.” – My translation is: “Captain Emilio Carranza and Colonel Charles August Lindberg after landing at Mitchell airfield after returning from Detroit where both attended the opening of the Air Show [Olympics] held in that city”.
