Copy attached to photograph reads: "Any one of the four desks aboard the Goldwater campaign plane is the center of busy work-in-the-air, whether it be typing or listening to dictation. This modern flying communications center contains a radio-telephone air to ground, radio transmitter, modern Dictaphone dictating equipment, mimeograph facilities, intercom system, and full secretarial services."
