MS-152: Dayton-Wright Airplane Company Photographs
Description
A De Havilland DH-4 in a packaging crate at the shipping department of the Dayton-Wright Airplane Company, circa 1918. The photograph shows the rear view of the fuselage looking from the second cockpit toward the engine. The Scarff ring is attached to the second cockpit. The crate that holds the DH-4 only needs the top and sides attached to be ready for shipment. In the background another completed crate is visible. A United States flag hangs from the rafters and a Blue Star Banner hangs next to the United States flag. Near the shipping offices an early tractor or motorized tug cart is visible with a cart full of equipment and supplies attached to the rear. Other shipping supplies can be seen throughout the image.
