Lawson Air Liner at 51st Aero Squadron Hangar

Lawson Air Liner at 51st Aero Squadron Hangar | Photograph | Wisconsin Historical Society
Elevated view of several men, most in military uniforms, inspecting a Lawson Air Liner outside a hangar at an airfield. The hangar door says 51st AERO SQDN. Although the location is unidentified, the timing of the plane and the locations of the 51st Aero Squadron indicate that this is probably 1918 and is either at Ellington Field in Texas or at Henry J. Damm Field in New York.
