Thank you HossC for the El Ja info. Given its reputation for notable clientele, maybe the El Ja was perfect. I included the 1960 image because it struck me as familiar - but neglected to mention this after spending considerable time looking for a larger or better image. I did not see any CD listings, but this is probably understandable, since I do not believe the available docs cover that area.
Thanks to Tovangar2, too. I was unaware of Lindbergh's Redondo connection and merely assumed he visited the area for various business trips and well publicized promotional tours. For all we know, when the Biltmore was undergoing renovations and the Athletic or other Clubs were fully booked, he later bunked with other LA connected aviators, e.g., Doolittle, Rickenbacker, and Pancho Barnes!
