dc.description A De Havilland DH-4 equipped with a Liberty Engine made by the Ford Motor Company is tested at the Dayton-Wright Airplane Company Plant 1. The photograph shows only the fuselage with no wings attached and the tail section does not have the horizontal stabilizer or elevators connected. The hood is removed so the Liberty Engine is exposed and a Dayton-Wright employee works in the pilots cockpit. A Scarff ring is in place in the second cockpit. In the background piles of building materials are visible near railroad cars and other employees of Dayton-Wright work on DH-4s in a different building. The title of the negative is "The Dayton-Wright Airplane Co. Plant -1. "Ford Motor Test" July 3-18." en_US
