Three days before his landslide victory over George McGovern, President Nixon made an appearance at Ontario International Airport on Nov. 4, 1972. It was to be a star-studded event, with appearances by John Wayne, Glenn Ford, Jimmy Stewart and Chad Everett would be there too. Thanks to Jane O’Connell of Alta Loma for the poster image. (She recently sold the original on eBay.)
