This is a photo of O.R. McNeel, Douglas Corrigan (later to be known as "Wrong Way" Corrigan), Bert Tindale, Hawley Bowlus, and Shirley Morrison at Ryan along with the Ryan NYP "Spirit of St. Louis," during construction. See also:

Lindbergh wrote about meeting these men when he came to San Diego to discuss building this plane in his book We and The Spirit of St. Louis. BF Mahoney had already purchased Ryan Aircraft and Ryan himself had little to do with the building of the Spirit of St Louis. BF had kept the name of the company as Ryan Aircraft leading to some confusion. see link: www.charleslindbergh.com/plane/mahoney.asp

All these men worked for Ryan in 1927.
Fred Rohr was the sheet-metal foreman.
Fred Ayars (note spelling) later followed O.R. McNeel (again spelling) when they formed Ryan Mechanics to build their own designs.
Can't find Lon Wheeler, but he was most likely another of the hard working mechanics who worked for almost nothing.
