This photograph shows the airplane of Charles Lindbergh after an accident at Hankow, a Yangtze River port in central China, on October 3, 1931. The Lindberghs were touring Asia that year, and the record places the damage at Hankow, a city then central to river trade and shipping. Lindbergh's flying in China drew wide press attention, and wire-service photographs like this one carried news of his travels to readers abroad. The record's date and caption come from an old card and have not been verified, so the details of the crash itself are best read as the caption's account.
