Default looking for an aviation poster

I'm trying to replace a poster that was damaged in a storm. *It was of
a WWI plane crashed into a tree, seemingly the only tree around. *The
caption underneath read "Aviation in itself is not inherently
dangerous. But to an even greater degree than the sea, it is terribly
unforgiving of any carelessness, incapacity or neglect.".

It was a gift. *I've looked around and can't find another. *I heard
they used to be sold at Oshkosh years ago. *If anyone has an original,
and is willing to make a photo quality copy, I would be more than
willing to pay for copying, shipping, and fee for your trouble.

Thanks,

No, I think you are speaking of a picture taken of a real accident in
which a Cherokee crashed into a tree near the airport in marginal
weather. From the outside the Cherokee looks fine but the pilot
suffered some injuries as I recall.
I think this is it. http://www.snopes.com/photos/airplane/flightschool.asp
There are various versions out there, some are doctored.
