    It is a Hanriot HD.1. This plane was used in several movies, including one starring Nungesser himself (The Sky Raider). The plane is still around, and is on display at the Planes of Fame Air Museum in Chino, California.

    I am guessing, but from the number of hangars in the background, I think this is Hazelhurst Field, Mineola, L.I. NY. Don't know the story of the 'fat belly' DH-4.

    Modified Model 40.

    This is a (relatively rare) photo of the original Boeing Model 40 powered by a (by 1925, heavy and inefficient) Liberty Engine - as specified by the US government, which had hundreds of surplus Liberty L-12 engines from World War I production. The aircraft was designed and built to compete for US Post Office Air Mail service contract for 50 aircraft. Ultimately, the Douglas M-2 would get the contract. However, an improved Boeing Model 40, the Boeing Model 40A, would provide the impetus for the development and production of the Pratt & Whitney Wasp radial engine, as well as representing Boeing's start in building airliners.
