This will be too easy for old hands at Fun & Games, but it is a nice challenge if you are new to this. Hint: It certainly was not taken by a satellite. Please post the current default imagery of the same area when you find it.

Clue added:

SPOILER: Click to show

About the only flying vehicles with wings were biplanes when this was shot. Which parts of the world most likely had a fair number of them. Choose an area and zoom out to to around 2000 mi/3000 km. Start playing around with the oldest imagery you can find with the historical imagery slider.

Turn the slider all the way back. Look at North America. Check the date for the oldest imagery. Slowly zoom in. If that date changes to a more recent time you have moved away from your target. You are looking at the bottom left date to check on this.
