A De Havilland DH-4 is parked behind Plant 1 of the Dayton-Wright Airplane Company, circa 1918. The photograph is out of focus so the people around the aircraft are unidentified. Early automobiles are visible behind the airplane. A railroad gondola car is visible in the background with the marking of Michigan Central on the side.
