Don Alexander, and seven other Alexander executives. Don M. Alexander stands second from right. Written on the back of the photograph: "J. Don Alexander in front of old Denver Administration Building.". The aircraft depicted is a Longren AK bi-plane manufactured at the Longren Aircraft Corporation factory in Topeka, Kansas, prior to its closure in 1926. In 1927 the newly established Alexander Aircraft Company purchased the assets of Longren Aircraft Corporation and opened a factory in Englewood, Colorado. This bi-plane bears the logos of both the Longren and Alexander Aircraft Companies on the fuselage.PhotographerunknownLocationEnglewood (Colo.)SubjectAlexander IndustriesAirplanesBiplanesAlexander, J.
