Description
The photograph shows twin Lewis guns mounted on the Scarff ring of a De Havilland DH-4 at a Dayton-Wright Airplane Company factory, circa 1918. Inside the second cockpit extra cases of ammunition for the Lewis guns is stacked on a shelf. The electrical wiring and control box used to heat the clothes and guns of the person in that cockpit is visible. A navigation light is seen behind the cockpit. A small enclosed area separates the De Havilland DH-4 from the employees of the Dayton-Wright Airplane Company working in the background. A United States flag hangs from the rafters and the post near the enclosed area is marked with 86. The negative is labeled 100.
