Notes:
Located in photo album (2013.08.011A). Attached to album page by corner tabs.
The album belonged to William G. Brian Harland. He was a mechanic for Alaska—Washington Airways and Alaska Southern Airways. He was based out of Juneau.
Based on similar photographs (2013.08.300 and 2013.08.301) it can be assumed that, while not visible, Wiley Post is in the cockpit.
