BY FREDERICK M. KERRY.
N. E. A. Staff Correspondent.

New York, Jan. 2s.-How would you
feel if you found yourself in an air
! plane launched from dirigible 5000
, feet in the air. with a stalled motor,
forced to make a straight nose dive
and your life depending on whether
the propeller would automatically
crank" after the machine had dropped
! for Thousand feet.
a test to determine whether the
propeller would Crank" in such an
emergency and whether an airplane
could be I. nched from dirigible has
been Succt& sfully conducted by the
navy depar >ent al Rockaway Beach,
near Fort Tfden.
one of the big navy ''blinps'' was
brought 10 the field and landed. fol
wed by five airplanes. When prep
/ arettions for the daring experiment had
been completed. the ''blimp'' rose 70
height Of 100 feet. held by it's own
anchor ropes while one of the planes
was wheeled into position underneath.
Lieutenant George Crompton, of the
naval flying corps. was at the pilots
wheel of the blimp, with Chief Ma
chinist Mates J. T.. Nichols and c.
Cooper as a crew. Lieutenant a. w
Redfield, who had volunteered for the
experiment climbed into the pilots
seat of the plane.
When all was in readiness. a 100
foot cable, dropped from the pilots
cage of the "blirnp.'' was attached to
! the upper wing of the plane. Ballast
was dropped from the ''blin1p" and the
big ship with the diminutive plane
swinging beneath. rose TO a ehight of
more than 5000 feet climbing in cir
cles. At that point. Lieutenant Red
| field pulled the release cord. Down
came his plane in a straight dive for
\ distance of l 900 feet,
Whether the daring pilot would dash
TO his death or swing away into sue
cessfu1 flight depended upon the start
ing of his motor. whose propeller was
supposed to be automatically Crank
ed" by the thousand foot dive. The
four accompanying planes were by
this time circling about the blimp and
the released aviator After a straight
drop. Lieutenant Redfields plane
/ "f1attened out" with, motor humming,
and the five in formation. sped away
straight to the aviation field at
Mineola.
This is the first successful expert
ment of its kind.
