When the Mortified spectators saw
what had happened, they wrecked the
barriers that confined the crowds and
rushed TO the spot where the mono
plane was lying. Michelln was still In
the seat Of the machine. He was tax
en- to hospital, where his skull was
trephined in a vain attempt to save
his life. He died shortly after the
operation.
Michelin was only % years old. To
an assistant who wished him luck as
his machine arose into the air. the
