A glimpse of Austin’s S.E.5a production line in late 1918/1919. Most of the aircraft are from the batch E5637-E5936, but the foremost machine, F8014, is from a later batch and bears United States Air Service insignia, as does the wing panel in the middle distance. The low overwing Foster mounting on F8014 indicates that it had a direct-drive engine.
