Chanute Field, Rantoul, Ill. The motor on a plane went dead, causing it to make an emergency landing in windy conditions. Unfortunately, the wind got under the tail of the machine and turned it over. This photograph was taken at Chanute Field in December 1918 and is not for publication. It is designated for official use only.
