REQUEST FOR HELP via email from Suzanne K. Jones, 11-24-07      I am searching for the photograph "Where two Navy Air Heroes Met Death in Virginia" which was the actual plane crash picture from the Asheville Times. I have a picture which was laminated years ago, and it is now not able to be copied because of the deterioration within the laminate. This was the air crash which occurred April 26, 1927 with Lt. Com. Noel Davis & Lt. Stanton Hall Wooster attempting the first flight across the Atlantic Ocean. Wooster was my mother's half-brother, and she was 10 years old at the time of the crash.      Do you have an idea who can help me? Thanks for your effort . . . Suzanne K. Jones 107 Riceland St. Danville, VA 24540 Editor's Note: If you can help Suzanne in her search, please send a message to my email address. I will forward your response to her immediately. Thank you.
