[post_page_title]A new invention[/post_page_title]
In the 1940s, aircraft travel was not as common as it is now. This picture shows ten men all geared up to take a brand new aircraft out for a spin – including the mayor of St. Louis, William Becker.
This photograph was taken just before the aircraft made its way into the air, and the men were extremely excited to be a part of its maiden voyage. Unfortunately, as soon as the plane took off, a damaged wing caused a fatal crash. There were no survivors.
