THE DAWN PATROL: More than 100 planes visited the airport of little Jonesville Sunday when the community near Hillsdale played host to the Dawn Patrol. Eleven planes and 24 fliers came from Ann Arbor, forming the largest contingent representing any city there. Some of the small craft are shown lined up at the Jonesville airport. The picture was taken by Maitland LaMott, an Ann Arbor News photographer, who with a reporter accompanied the Ann Arbor aviation enthusiasts. Dawn Patrols visit a different community each Sunday, taking off early in the morning and returning usually before noon. Other communities the flights have visited include Howell, New Hudson, Adrian, Kalamazoo and Mackinaw City.
