The Aeronca K was introduced early in 1937 and was an immediate success. By November 1937 the factory was turning out three Model Ks per day. The location is not the posh Long Island Aviation Club's airfield in Hicksville as indicated by the source. It is nearby Roosevelt Field, with the Roosevelt Aviation School building visible in the background.
