Professionally packaged in a rigid mailer for safe delivery.Photo OverviewThe photograph depicts the wreckage of a biplane on a grassy field, likely connected to the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) during World War 1 in France. The aircraft is severely damaged, with the wings and fuselage visibly broken.

This period saw increased aerial reconnaissance and combat, leading to advancements in aviation design and tactics. Many pilots in the AEF were trained hurriedly, which, combined with the intense combat roles, sometimes resulted in accidents and aircraft losses.Text Presentwreck plane (back of photograph)Condition: Good to fair vintage condition.
