FIVE OFFICERS
KILLED IN CRASH

Andover, Eng, April 22.-Five
members of the crew of big Hand
ley Page airplane were burned to
death early today when the machine
crashed to the earth as the result of
an accident at the airdrome at Ncy-
hill near here.
All the occupants of the machine
were army officers, including a ma
jor a captain and two lieutenants.
The machines failed to start off
well and struck telegraph pole. The
under carriage broke off and the ma
chine fell on the rolf of a hut used
for sleeping purposes. The gasoline
tank caught fire and the machine
burned SO quickly that it was impos-
sible to reach the imprisoned crew. A
lieutenant and sergeant managed
to extricate themselves but were bur.
ned severely.
