  • Description
  • During its first flight, a WWI era Martin Bomber biplane crash landed in a field off Wexford -Bayne Road in Marshall Township, Allegheny County, PA. The crew lived with local families while attempting to repair the plane, but repairs were unsuccessful and the plane was returned by rail to its base near Cleveland. The image shows the wreckage being hauled by horse drawn wagon over what was then a muddy Perry Highway (now Church Road) through the village of Wexford in Pine Township, Allegheny County, PA. A shop advertising Falls Tires stands in the background.
