    This 1917 photograph captures a bustling flying field in Dayton, Ohio, a significant site during World War I. Taken by a Bain News Service photographer, it showcases the evolution of aviation technology, which was rapidly advancing in the early 20th century. Dayton, known for its connection to the Wright brothers, served as a hub for aviation innovation, training pilots, and developing aircraft essential to the war effort.

    Published in The Sunday Oregonian on July 29, 1917, the image offers a glimpse into the daily operations at the flying field, bustling with activity as military personnel engage in various aircraft training exercises. The photograph stands as an important historical record, illustrating the critical role aviation played in World War I. As nations raced to dominate the skies, places like Dayton emerged as key players in developing the strategies and technologies that would shape aerial warfare.
