On May 15, 1922, a aircraft carrying Canadian liquor crashed in Croton, drawing attention from law enforcement and local residents. The New York Times reported that when authorities arrived at the wreckage, they found "country folk grouped about the battered remains of a once gallant craft, some of them looking quite cheerful over that which the air had provided."

One local who climbed the hill near the Tumble Inn photographed the damaged plane before police dismantled it and transported it to White Plains. Years later, someone preserved these photographs in an envelope with a handwritten note reading: "About 1920 A Curtis Scout Plane crashed across road from our Oscawanna. Had a load of 'Farm' whiskey aboard."

The Manchester Historical Society in Connecticut discovered the envelope in their collection. Upon researching the reference to Oscawana (correctly spelled), a curator realized this location was in New York State and forwarded the images to the Peekskill Museum with a note: "I am sure there is an interesting story to go with them. Found them in our collection. No further information on them."

The article poses unanswered questions about the photographer's identity and the meaning of "our Oscawanna," while directing readers to a previous post for the complete Rum Plane narrative.
