WARM AIR POCKET
CAUSES DEATH OF
AN ARMY AVIATOR
Lieut.. Loren III. Call Dashed
to Death in a Practice
Flight-Fought For
His Life

Texas City, Tex, July S.-The dangerous
thing known to aviators as "a warm air
pocket" is held responsible for the In
stantaneous death today of Lieut.. Loren
II. Call of the aviation corps of the
second division of the United States army,
stationed here.
About two hours after sunrise Lieuten-
ant Call making practice landings had
risen from the aviation field which bor-
ders the Gulf of Mexico; had turned
his big machine northward away from
the water; crossing the brown tented
army city and was flying over the level,
treeless stretches near the artillery camp
which lies fartherest inland His machine
was at an altitude of about 800 feet plain
ly visible to several soldiers who say
that 1t seemed to be running smoothly,
and that without warning 1t suddenly
turned it's nose downward and plunged
almost straight to the earth.
Every Bone Broken
The impact broke nearly every bone in
the young aviator's anatomy and made
kindling wood of his machine. also wedg-
ing its fragments SO tightly about his
crumpled body that 1t was difficult to
extricate his inanimate form.
The warm air theory was advanced by
other officers at the aviation camp who
knew the location over which Lieutenant
Cali was fitting. The accident happened
r. hoo ND
will be named to investigate the opinion
expressed is that nothing remains about
the debris to show the real cause OF the
mishap
Spectators said that Lieutenant Call
fought every inch of his long drop in an
effort to right the machine and after
that was hopeless to save his life.
Fought for Life
Private Smith of the Aero squadron
said that the flying machine seemed to
halt and plunge so abruptly as to pitch
Call forward out of his seat. He caught
the forward rail with both hands. his
body dropping down and hanging below
the machine. With convulsive jerks Cal
was seen trying to draw himself upward
to the machine by main strength as il tc
regain the lost saddle again. For about
the first four hundred feet he fought to
get back into the machine above him and
then gave up letting go the bar and drop
ping down ahead of the plane body erect
and perpendicular. feet seemingly braceo
to break the shock. He landed true tc
the intent but the force of the plunge
was too terrific for the gameness of tho
man to overcome. Some OF his leg bones
we're driven through the soles of his feet
into tile ground and against the tatlt
muscles bones snapped at various places
up to his hips. Then the machine came
down on top of him. The watch of the
lieutenant stopped exactly at 6:45 o'clock.
A few days ago he fell 100 feet into the
bay in front of the camp but was not
injured.
