The photographic print shows the left side fuselage panel from the rear of the second cockpit to the front at the back of the radiator of the De Havilland DH-4 in a Dayton-Wright Airplane Company factory during construction. The wheel attached to the side is the pitch control in the front cockpit and it actuates a vertical jack screw at the rear stabilizer spar connected by a cable loop. The small piece above the wheel and to the right is the fuel control valve unit. The negative is titled "Dayton Wright Airplane and numbered 7." This image was taken circa 1918.
