his small bi-planc would be fast
enough to carry him through tha
choppy wind, went into the air in
spit of the warning.

At about 500 feet altitude he
started to come down in spiral
glide. Peck got into too steep a
spiral, his aeroplane slid into vortex
and he could not bring it back.
His real difficulty did not come
apparently until he was within 200

escaped with minor injuries, Director

declared, had ii not been for the
fact that the heavy engine crashed
