Early Passenger Plane
Description
An airplane faces to the right of the photo with its propellar moving, possibly at the Machesney Airport. Two men appear to be boarding the plane. Three men are walking away from the plane. World War I spurred the development of airplanes, making them more reliable, safer and able to carry heavier loads, making it possible to carry passengers and freight.
