Original 1947 AP wire photo showing volunteer soldiers and civilians carrying survivors of an Iowa National Guard plane crash down Pikes Peak near Colorado Springs. Rescuers struggled through six-foot snowdrifts to bring four survivors to safety after the aircraft crashed during a blinding storm, killing three people. The caption is separate from the photograph. Measures approximately 8" × 6⅛". Tape remains on the corners with expected age-related wear. From the archive of a Pittsburgh-area newspaper.
