* Fayetteville Tn Tennessee
* Air show stunt disaster
* Airplane circus
The front page has a nice banner headline: "AIRPLANE CRASHES KILL 15" with subheads. (see) Nice for display. First report coverage on the air show disaster at Faytteville, Tennessee which was one of the very 1st air show mishaps. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Complete with all 40 pages, this is the "rag edition" printed on very high quality newsprint meant for institutional holdings. In great condition as such, a few small binding holes at the blank spine.
wikipedia notes: April 27 - (Fayetteville, Tennessee) - At least nine air show spectators were killed and about twenty injured when pilot Milton P. Covert's plane lost altitude and crashed while approaching the landing area. The victims were standing on a railroad embankment as the plane approached at a low altitude. At the time there were claims that the pilot was deliberately trying to scare off the spectators from the embankment. The pilot and his two passengers on the plane escaped unhurt, but Covert was later arraigned on charges.
