From left to right, Arthur Goebel, Sr., Arthur Goebel and Emma Goebel stand beside the "Yankee Doodle" monoplane. Arthur, Sr., rests a hand on the plane's wheel and looks to camera. To his left, Arthur, Jr. kisses his mother goodbye. Behind the Goebels and to the left, Yankee Doodle sits in partial view; its tail stretches back towards center. A large white patch cuts across the upper right corner. A few people appear to stand along the right edge to watch the farewell.
