Lieutenants Reid and Synnestvedt experience a forced landing at Chanute Field in Rantoul, Illinois. The incident was caused by the forward control stick being placed in the reverse position and getting caught on the dashboard. This photograph, taken in December 1918, is part of the collection from the Department of Military Activities.
