Early aircraft photo by Harpel, Lebanon, Pa. Four aviators, who are standing directly in front of the propeller and engine of their biplane, are surrounded by men and children. Other people are visible in the background.
Can anyone identify the plane? Is it a Curtiss JN-4 Jenny?

Harrisburg Airport, now known as Capital City Airport, still serves the area around the city of Harrisburg, which is Pennsylvania's state capital. Photographer Samuel W. Kuhnert (note his flying camera logo in the upper right-hand corner) may have taken this photo as early as the 1930s or 1940s. For a similar aerial view of the airport, see Star Cat's The Harrisburg Airport.

Originally posted on Ipernity: Bought 4th Liberty Bonds, 1918.
This real photo postcard seems similar to one of Arthur Mole's "living photographs"--World War I-era photos "in which tens of thousands of soldiers, reservists, and other members of the military were arranged to form massive compositions." Note the biplane flying overhead and the automobile on the ground at left. The handwritten caption at bottom appears to end with "Steve Winters, 1918," but I haven't been able to make out the first two words.
