Charcoal and pencil sketch on paper. The work depicts men working on airplane engines in a structure near Issoudun, France during World War I. In the foreground, on either side of the drawing, a solider stands at a test block for airplane equipment. The men appear to be in a hangar or other type of warehouse. The structure is open air, and through the support posts an airfield with Allied planes and troops can be seen.
