The Boeing family sent this greeting card to an unspecified individual in celebration of New Years 1930. While the image does not explicitly identify each person on the plane, it seems to show William Boeing (referred to as Bill in this image) and his family. In the image Bill Boeing is seen flying a plane while his wife, Bertha, and their children, Nat, Boo and Bill Jr, drop bombs that explode into New Years' greetings for 1930. Bill's cigar puffs out a greeting as well.
