Olympic Cockpit - Focal point of athletes throughout the world now is Wembley Stadium, London, seen from the air on the third day of the XIV Olympiad, July 31, 1948. A mass of 100,000 spectators, most of them white-shirted in the summer sunshine, crowds the stands. Dotted on the arena are competitors and officials. The four jumping pits stand out white against the green of the arena at the left board, tree-lined Olympic way, specially constructed for the games stretches away at the left-hand top of the picture.
