termed side slip and headed forth
with ststraight to earth when he was
harly more than rs to 100 feet high.
He had already made landing and
was getting out against a rather
strong wind. His mount was very
nearly checked over the negro res
dences at the southern border of the
field by the brisk winds and as he
turned in the glide back toward the
field, his machine appeared beyond
control just as the edge of the field
was reached.
There were several cars standing

houses and the border and into this

TRIED TO
SAVE AUTOS
NEAR
AVIATOR STATED THAT he
SACRIFICED HIMSELF AND
MACHINE

Lieut. Donlan who is now at the
local hospital suffering dangerous
injuries from his fall on the aviation
field, gave his word to his superior
officers that he took his plunge to
save the automobiles that were SO
near the edge of the field and the
destruction of human life that was
sure to have followed.
He had opportunity to glide back to
a safe landing on the field had the way
way been clear, so it appears, but
he feared for others and chose the
landing that nearly cost his life.
Wide room at the field is the only
course that is a safe one and this ex-
ample is considered by the flyers
who were here today as unanswer-
able argument against coming on or
too close the field. Spectators en-
danger their own lives and those of
the aviators by coming too close.
