Original 1947 AP Wirephoto showing an aerial view of LaGuardia Airport and the approximate crash site of a United Air Lines airliner shortly after takeoff on May 29, 1947. The original caption uses a cross to mark the crash location and identifies the runway, flight path, main airport terminal, hangars, Marine base, Jamaica Bay and Grand Central Parkway extension. The caption is separate from the photograph, with both mounted on a fragment of black archival paper. An AP stamp is present on the back. Measures approximately 8 x 8⅜ inches overall. Visible vintage tape, age, toning, edge wear and expected newsroom/archive handling are present. This photo came from the archive of a Pittsburgh area newspaper.
