Famous Aviatrix
Falls To Death
Laura Bromwell Loses Life When
Plane Crashes-lield
World Record

M;neo!a. " Y, June Miss Laura
Eromw.ll, holder OF the loop the loop
record Tor women. and one OF the
best known women pilots in the
world, was killed 1T Mitchell field
this afternoon.
Miss Bromwell was flying at an
altitude. of about 1000 feet She had
just completed one loop and was
about 10 make a second when some
thing wen: wrong with the plane and
it crashed TO the ground.
Miss Bromwell, whose home was in
Cincinnati, was % years old.
She established her loop the loop
record May IS when she executed
1873 loops in an hour and 30 min
utes. The same afternoon she pilot
"a her airplane over TWO mile
straight away course at the rate Of
1875 miles an hour.
Military observers who witnessed
the flight declared the girls air.
plane motor stopped abruptly as
she was making the upward tarn of
the loop. Suddenly. the machine fell
backward into a tail spin and
dropped like plummet into a road
just outside the field.
Hundreds Of spectators gasped as
plane fell and then rushed to where
il struck the ground The girls
iifeless body was found in the tan
gled wreckage. Miss Bromwell had
tested her machine before engaging
in her stunts, army officers said, and
she pronounced it in good condi-
ton.
Miss Rromwells machine went
through the first loop with the grace
of bird. She had just started
second when suddenly the hum Of the
motor stopped and the plane lurched
sidewise. It seemed to remain sus-
pended minute and then starred
its meteOrlc drop.
\ dark object flew from the ma
chine and many spectators, thinking
that the straps holding the aviatrix
in her seat had broken, shuddered
and turned their heads. 1t later
prove 90 be seat cushion, released
when Miss Cromwell was swung clear
of the seat as the plane started to
fall, upside down.
Experienced aviators declaTed the
girls apparent inability TO manipu-
late the control levers in an effort
70 right the plane probably was due
to having swung from the seat SO
far she could not reach them.
She was flying high enough. they
said. to have brought the plane
safely to earth. although the motor
had stopped.
Mineola. n. Y. June 5.-R. Fl. De-
rev. manager for Miss Bromwen at
Mineola. issued the following state
ment:
Miss Bromwclfs own plane was
out Of order. She borrowed Cana
dian training plane. a type which.
because Of Miss promwelts small
:tature. she was unsuited TO stunt.
I warned her not 20 attempt to loop
it but she disregarded the instruc-
tons. In the middle Of the second
loop the cushion she sat on fell out
and she evidently slipped out OF reach
cf the controls and was unable to
right the plane.
Examination OF the wreck dis
closed all controls TO be in working
order"
