"In this historical photo from the U.S. space agency, President Franklin D. Roosevelt visited Langley Field on July 29, 1940. President Roosevelt sits in a car inside a NACA hangar, two unidentified men stand behind the car, and the wing of a plane is visible in the background."
This quotation is related to the first pic below. The history of NACA is an informativ as well as educational read. I suggest to wait for a rainy weekend or a sleepless night. To picturize the ensemble I added two images, found on ebay. sources quotation and image #1 - space.com images #2 & #3 - eBay item numbers: 381176333455 & 370959103498

The martial-sounding Russian website panzer35.ru contains a photograph, that shows FDR in another Packard. Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like a 1937. Compared to 1939 the door arrangement is the other way around.
Mal, is that the Australian National Flag?

Gerd,
Don't think the flag on the far side is Aussie, really can't see enough of it for a positive identification. But it's ![]()

Just thinking, does POTUS have an official emblem? If so, the flag might be of that.

Hi Guscha
The photo was taken during 1944 FDR re-election campaign NYC parade in constant rain. The film is one of the most impressive performances of a Packard lending dignity to FDR's own steadfast commitment be there when promised. The crowds in the rain are amazing. When the Packard is driven up on the dais for his speech, if it doesn't swell your pride in the marque, nothing will. Note how drawn FDR looks compared to his earlier pictures. Here's some of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdpCQyX9-Ig Steve

Steve (58L8134), thanks. That's my last attempt to create clarification.
If you're on solid ground then Mal's assumption is right and the pic shows an old Presidential flag whereas the white flag above is the old insignia of the Vice President. ![]() Do you know Sheldon Cooper? <iframe width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Xl12Sp1KiEk?rel=0&controls=0&showinfo=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
