Casa Grande Airport, Ca. 1920s

The airplanes at top and bottom have registration numbers on top of their wings that are barely readable. The top airplane appears to be a Fokker monoplane, registration number NC9169 (not a Register airplane. According to aerofiles.com, this number belonged to a Fokker F-10A, serial number 1038 . Note the clearly visible tracks from the tail skids of the airplanes as they taxied to parking. The bottom airplane number might be NC5316 or 5318 (neither Register airplane numbers).
