Search Plane Crashes into Agrihan Crater

This story, which appeared in the
Dec. 23, 1953 issue of the Agana News [Guam] was preserved by
Mike Iverson, a member of the VJ-1/VW3 Weather Squadron stationed on Guam.
The whole story,
after the p. 1 paragraph, was continued on other pages .
I have reconstructed the story for this web page and tried to clean
the smears from the 58 year old copy somewhat. It has not been
edited. Max Crow, Webmaster, December 2011
