    This photo was taken on August 1, 1943, at Lambert Airport (STL / KSTL) in St. Louis. From left to right, they are Mayor of St. Louis, William D. Becker, Thomas Dysart (President, St. Louis Chamber of Commerce), Judge Henry Mueller, Lieut. Colonel Paul Hazelton, and Max Doyne (Director of Public Utilities). These men, and five others - including William B. Robertson, the founder of St. Louis-based Robertson Aircraft Corporation (RAC) (and the builders of the WACO CG-4A troop transport glider pictured), are about to plunge to their deaths during a public demonstration flight.

    Yes, correct. A famous and chilling image. I think there are pictures of the glider plunging to earth with one wing missing.

Who am I?

    No idea of the personnel, but I would guess this was taken in wartime UK - possibly London's Grosvenor House Hotel (stabbing a guess at the letters just visible extreme top)?
