Crash to Be Duplicated at Fair
**Handwritten: Aug 1941

Frankie Vann, ace stunster with Jimmie Lynch's Worlds Fair Death Dodgers, automobile thrill show backed for thrill day at the Van Buren-Jefferson county fair at Keosauqua the night of August 5th,is shown here nearing the end of one of his famous "Aerial Dive Bomber Crashes." The Dive Bomber Crash, 1941's newest innovation, is not only sensational in its daring but is also the most hazardous stunt done by any automobile daredevil. Cars and trucks are parked in front of high ramps, Vann races down the track up the ramps and hurtles his car through the air to crash head down into a car parked some distance away. Cars rolled over and literally fly to pieces. What will happen depends on which of his passengers, Lady Luck of the old Gentleman with the Scythe, grabs him first. This spectacular even climaxes a program of thrills that leave audiences breathless with their daring, and will give the Van Buren-Jefferson county fair its greatest thrill show.
