A nice clear picture of the Pride of Detroit, presumably taken in the Detroit area before or after Edward Schlee and Billy Brock's attempted flight around the world, which was aborted in Tokyo. As NC4307, the same plane won the Ford Reliability Tour in June 1927, flown by Eddie Stinson and Schlee. It was owned by Schlee's Wayco Air Service and its original name Miss Wayco is also still worn in an Aeroshell logo on the nose.
