Original 1947 AP Wire Photo showing rescue workers aiding two survivors after they were pulled from the flaming wreckage of a Cleveland-bound United Airlines plane that crashed shortly after takeoff from LaGuardia Field in New York on May 29, 1947. The photograph is mounted on black archival paper with the original AP caption affixed beneath the image. The overall piece measures approximately 14½ x 13¼ inches. It exhibits light age toning, minor edge and corner wear, and handling wear consistent with long-term newspaper archive storage. This photograph came from the archive of a Pittsburgh-area newspaper.
