This aircraft is a US Army Air Service (USAAS) Fokker D.VII, likely one of among well-over 100 of the type surrendered/given to the United States by Germany, pursuant to the 1918 Armistice. Given the "Winged 1" insignia, it belongs to the 1st Aero Squadron, which was based at Mitchel Field on Long Island from 1919 to 1940. Various online sources suggest the Fokker is being put through a loop over Long Island by distinguished aviator Lt. Eugene Hoy Barksdale (1896-1926). Unfortunately, I've yet to discover sufficient information to confirm the location and pilot.

TVL1970 Thank you for the aircraft and squadron identification—we'll add both to the record.
