GIANT PLANE FALLS
WITH 4 ON FIRST TRIP
Wing Hits Tree and Huge
Craft Drops Fifty Feet.

MILWAUKEE. May s.-with one of its
wings hitting tree on the takeoff OF
what was to be the maiden trip. the
Lawson air liner de luxe. valued at
$4,000. crashed fifty feet to the ground
to-day. Four passengers. including
Alfred w. Lawson the dtsigner. escaped
uninjured. Damage to the machine was
estimated at about $4,000.
The plane took off about 80 A. NJ.
with Mr.. Lawson and Charles Wilcox
as pilots, and Carl Schory and Andy
Surfni as mechanicians. In banking the
ship the lower left wing struck a tree.
The landing gear was ripped from
under IL and the right lacelle, which
carries one Of the motors, was smashed
the propellers broken, the right wing
crumpled like paper and the nose stove
in. The air liner Is claimed by its
makers TO be the largest commercial
plane in the world. 1t has a wing spread
OF 124 feet and is powered with three
Liberty motors OF 42o horsepower each.
The wrecked ship was built on an
elaborate scale, and Lawson had been
working on IL fourteen hours a day for
fifteen months. Berths, a shower bath
and soft leather chairs were Installed to
add 10 the comfort OF the passengers.
The interior had the aspect OF a Pull
man car. Lawson's airliner was headed
toward La Crosse. Wis. where II was to
have been christened in the city where
many persons we're financially interested
in the Lawson Airline Company.
From La Crosse the ship was to sail
to Chicago and thence to New YORK
After that Lawson planned regular
overnight trips between New York and
Chicago which would have taken ten
hours.
Twelve wealthy Chicago men had APP
Piled for privilege to take the first trip
10 New York at $1,000 each. Up to the
moment o. the take OFT many begged
Lawson TO take them on the first flight
with him, but he refused to take others
than the members OF the crew, realizing
the danger OF the hrst fight OF q new
type of ship.
The end OF the fc1i had been reached
and Lawson was forced to throw the
plane upward prematurely.

but welcome jolt, which meant that the
silk life preserver had opened. After
that all he had to do was 10 land. which
he did near the middle of the field after

Another thriller was triple jump
from one plane by Lieuts. johnson and
Beau and Master Sergeant Jones. Beau
and Johnson. who were clinging to the
outer ends Of the upper wing of the De
Haviland, Jumped first, and soon after
them Jones dived overheard from the
rear cockpit. IN landing Johnson was
rolled over by a gust OF wind that caught
his parachute. He dislocated his shoul-
der.
Stunning honors went to Lieut.. BarlSs-
dale, who took up an SE-5 and did
everything but turn 1t inside out The
stunt which got the crowd was a
tail spin which started at about 1000
feet. The plane whirled in a swift drop
to perilously near the earth, and then
slid out of the spin, Strengthened out
and "zoonied" up out of danger He
also Iooped, barrel rolled and did few
things nobody could describe.
While all the military machines were
cutting capers, four planes of the Cur
tiss company were soberly carrying pas
sengers on sight seeing hops over the
green and brown surface OF Hampstead
Plain. Casey Jones and Dick Depew,
Curtiss pilots. handled two vivid orange
orioles and Lieuts Roullot and Simonin
flew two others. Although life is Just one
iop after another to Pilot Jones he in

Those who drew lucky numbers on their
programmes were passengers.
Clarence Coombs, formerly one OF
the crack test pilots of the army, re-
verted to his previous job by testing out
a hybrid machine made of spare parts
by Sergeant Cy Young.
Another machine which attracted
much attention was plane with new
monoplane wing OF the internally
braced type designed and built by the
Lawrence Sperry Aircraft Company Of
Tarmingdale.
