| Description: | Indistinct imagery, contrast is not clear and is light - rolling images Crashed in a canyon of snow the wreckage of a passenger airplane flying from Bakersfield to Los Angeles is found with the remains of its human cargo. Pilot J. V. Sandblom evidently lost his bearings in the raging storm and went to his death with seven passengers, three of them women. The canyons and gulches, alive for days with man-hunters, finally reveal their terrible tragedy to Paul Appodaca, an Indian range rider whose shepherd dogs led him to the scene of one of the worst air accidents in the history of West Coast flying. | |
