A De Havilland DH-4 with military markings, gun sites at the front cockpit, and what appears to be a set of guns covered on the Scarff ring of the second cockpit is the center of the photograph taken at the Dayton-Wright Airplane Company South Field, circa 1918. Generators that are attached to the landing gear were used for heat, lights, and electric power. Navigation lights and a flare dispenser are visible on the wing. The tail number of the aircraft is 40044. Hangars are visible to the right of the aircraft and the background shows local farms. A sign that lies on the ground behind the aircraft reads "Please Keep Off The Grass".
