LONDON, July IL (By The Asso-
ciated Press). Harry G. Hawker,
Australian aviator who in 1919 at
tempted the first nonstop trans Allan
tic airplanc flight, only to have to
descend and await rescue in mid d-ocean,
was killed on the Hendon flying field
to-day when his plane crashed to the
ground.
The plane plunged down in flames.
Hawker's body was found two hundred
yards from the spot where the machine
fell 1t was badly mutilated both by
fire and the fall one foot was severed
and both legs were broken.
Hawker's proverbial luck had often
been the subject Nof comment. 1t re-
NAMED with him for many years as an
experimental and test flyer, from
which work, it was said, he received
not less than 100000 yearly.
He is survived by his wife and small
daughter, Pamela. He was twenty-nine
years old.
Hawker stood out as hero of trans
Atlantic flying because of his nerve
neither life raft nor landing carriage
nor convoy ship to fly longer distance
than had ever before been covered in
nonstop flight, with almost sure
death awaiting him if he failed. He
did fail, after covering 1925 miles, but
with his navigator, Lieutenant Com
mander Mackenzie Grieve, he was
picked up in mid-ocean by the Danish
tramp ship Mary that ploughed along
at seven knots an hour for six days
before it could notify the world that
Mary had no wireless.
1t was in that spring which saw New
foundland dotted with flying camps in
which British and Americans were
fighting for the honor of being first
to fly across the Atlantic; the spring
that the United States Navy sent the
NC-4 VIGOROUSLY across, and that Cap
tain Sir John Alcock, a Briton, later
succeeded in the attempt in which
Hawker failed so gloriously.
Two days after the American flying
squadron had taken the air from Ire
passey, N. F., on May 16, Hawker
the prize Of $4,000 offered by The
London Daily Mail for the first aviator
to soar across the ocean. Competing
against him was Captain F. P. Rayn-
ham, who also had his airdrome at St.
Johns. Raynham hoped off the same
day, but wrecked his Martinsyde.
Hawker had waited six weeks for
clear weather. Fearing at last that the
Americans might steal a share of his
glory if they reached Lisbon, via the
Azores, Hawker took his life in his
hands and started. He was forced down
$50 miles west of Ireland on the follow
ing day, when broken pieces of solder
clogged the filter in the planes rad
iator feed pipe. Sighting the passing
Mary, Hawker signalled her with Verey
lights and dropped into the ocean two
miles ahead of the tramp" vessel.
The Mary carried the paid to the
Orkneys, where they were picked up
by a British destroyer and trans
ferred to the mainland. Proceeding by
rail to London, Hawker was inter
