Original 1947 AP Wire Photo display mounted on black archival paper, measuring approximately 18¾ x 23 inches overall. This fascinating display contains five original Associated Press wire photos documenting America's first great "flying saucer" craze of 1947. Included are two enlarged AP wire photos of the reported Seattle flying disc photographed by Coast Guardsman Frank Ryman, an AP wire map showing reported saucer sightings across the United States, a wire photo of Coast Guardsman Ryman with his camera, and a whimsical AP wire photo of a Portland model tossing pie plates to illustrate the nation's newest fascination. The reverse is blank. Mounted on black archival paper with expected age-related wear, light corner wear, and original wire captions attached. From the archive of a Pittsburgh-area newspaper.
