1st Lieut. William P. Erwin, location unknown but probably Coblenz, Germany along the Rhine River, December 1918‒early January 1919, eight miles SE of the Weißenthurm aérodrome, where the 1st Aero Squadron was stationed postwar.

The person on the left is likely Erwin's wife, Constance, who was originally slated to be the navigator on the trans-Pacific flight. She was disqualified for her age (20) and pregnancy.
