Description

A stereoscopic photograph of an airplane crash, Los Angeles, 1920s. The item appears to be drawn from a press photo and shows a biplane that hit some streetcar electrical poles and wires. A group of persons is gathered around the suspended aircraft with one of them standing on the craft's fuselage seeking to disentangle part of the wing from a pole. Pasted down on the reverse is a caption for the photo from the Associated Press. With soiling and edge rubbing, the overall condition is good.
