MS-152: Dayton-Wright Airplane Company Photographs

Description

The photographic image shows the interior of the second cockpit of the Honeymoon Express up to the front of the airplane at the Dayton-Wright Airplane Company, circa 1918. The Honeymoon Express was a modified De Havilland DH-4 that could carry three people, one pilot and two passengers. A small canopy could be pulled over the passengers to protect them from the elements. The passenger area was compact but detailed to accommodate the passengers. Small cabinets are placed where the control panel would normally be located. A clock, mirror, and airspeed gauge are also attached to the cabinets. The interior of the pilots cockpit is also visible. In the background residential buildings are visible. Similar image to MS152_122.
