This 1930 photo was donated to the Talbot Historical Society by David Kirby Metz. Two of the three aviators are identified at the top of the picture as Kirby Metz and Buddy Taylor. The biplane was either at Easton’s first airport at the Ratcliffe Manor field or at Webb Field off of Dover Road at Black Dog Alley. Easton area’s second-largest airport, Webb Airport, was built in 1930 on Mr. Dorsey Webb’s farm. Dorsey Webb owned a crop duster and flew at various air shows.
