U.S. Army Air Service Training Biplane "S.C.33765" at Airfield, WWI Era
This early 20th-century photograph shows a U.S. Army Air Service training biplane, marked with the Signal Corps serial "S.C.33765," parked at a military airfield lined with period barracks buildings. Aircraft such as this served as primary trainers for American pilots during and immediately after World War I, when the Army's fledgling air arm was rapidly expanding its pilot training programs.
