Original 1947 Associated Press wire photo documenting the site of a devastating four-engine airliner crash near Port Deposit, Maryland, that killed all 53 people aboard. The stark overhead view shows the path torn through the heavily wooded landscape as the aircraft struck the ground, with the main impact area visible near the center of the image. At the time, the disaster ranked among the deadliest aviation accidents in United States history. The original AP caption is printed directly on the photo. Please note the tape on the corners, light discoloration, and general surface wear consistent with age and newspaper use. Measures approximately 6⅜ x 8½ inches. From the archive of a Pittsburgh-area newspaper.
