MS-152: Dayton-Wright Airplane Company Photographs
Description
Construction workers build a Dayton-Wright Airplane Company factory while employees of the Dayton-Wright Airplane Company work on De Havilland DH-4s. As the building is being erected, employees of Dayton-Wright work on producing the aircraft. The building is in skeleton form only and building materials are seen on the ground surrounding the fuselages of the DH-4s. The fuselages are complete with some having the hood off so that the Liberty Engine is exposed. One of the aircraft has the fixed twin Marlin guns attached in front of the pilot's cockpit. All of the planes have a white tarp over part of the fuselage to protect them. This image was taken circa 1918.
