Original 1947 Associated Press wire photo showing an Air France Lockheed Constellation after a ground-loop accident at LaGuardia Field in New York following a flight from Paris. The caption notes that the aircraft's right landing gear buckled during the incident, prompting crash crews to spray the engines as a precaution against fire. None of the 31 passengers or 10 crew members were injured.
Overall measurements are approximately 8¾ × 6¼ inches. The original AP caption remains attached at the bottom, though it is faint from age. The photo displays typical wear from age and handling, including light creasing and edge wear. Please see photos.
