This photo (and accompanying photo below) depects the aftermath of the crash of the prototype Fokker F.32 (NX124M; c/n 1201) in Carle Place, Long Island at the intersection of Westbury Ave. and Jamaica Boulevard on November 27, 1929. Miraculously, no one aboard he aircraft or on the ground was killed in the accident. The aircraft was demonstrating a three-engine (out of the F.32's four) take-off from nearby Roosevelt Field when an additional engine failed, causing the aircraft to crash.
