Clippings and memorabilia from World War I scrapbook compiled by Dr. Naaman H. Keyser, page 63
A single article dated September 7, 1918 is glued to page 63. This article bears the headline "Germantown Youth Downs First Plane" and continues: "...Lieutenant Charles Wallace Drew, R. M. A., aged 22, reported an achievement of which any American boy might well be proud. He is in charge of a flying section of the American squadron in France. Drew noted "'My plane was pretty well shot up during the flight and I was very lucky to reach my own lines and our airdrome, as the explosive bullet had penetrated the radiator and and my motor was very hot- burned out, in fact..." Drew then continues on with his story. The article includes a photograph of Drew, wearing his pilot headgear.
