about the Cover
This Bar year, at President John Schifino’s suggestion, we are honoring important milestones and industries in Florida’s
history, highlighting the role they have played in creating the great state we live in today. For this first issue, we feature a famous
triptych mural that hangs in Tampa International Airport, History’s First Scheduled Airline Passenger Arrives in Tampa - Tony
Jannus’ First Flight. This mural, which is oil paint on canvas and measures 9 feet high by 27 feet wide, commemorates the first
flight of the St. Petersburg-Tampa Airboat Line on New Year’s Day in 1914, piloted by Tony Jannus. This was the first airline to
operate a scheduled service: a 23-minute flight across Tampa Bay. This event put the cities of Tampa and St. Petersburg in
the history books as the first two cities in the world to have regularly scheduled airline service.
The mural is one of seven Works Progress Administration (WPA) murals painted by St. Petersburg artist George Snow Hill
in 1939. These seven murals hang today in Airside E at Tampa International Airport. Thank you to the Hillsborough County
Aviation Authority and the Tampa International Airport for allowing us to feature this fascinating mural in the Lawyer magazine.
