Two newspaper articles are attached to a piece of paper. The first clipping is an article about the plane crash and death of Lt. LeRoi S. Williams. Included is a small black and white photograph of him. The second clipping is about another Lieutenant who had to "bail out of his riddled plane." This clipping is the same as the one in GLC09587.070.
