Newport News, Va, July 90
Believed to be the first person ever
convicted of stealing an airplane
in this country. Atticus Hoppe, q
modern Darius Green, today faced
sentence Of one year in the pent-
tentiary.
Atticus is a Langley Field SOL
der. He had been on duty in air
planes and dirigibles for so long
that he became a victim Of his en-
vironment. It occurred to him
one evening he would like to take
little trip to North Carolina,
where all the mountain dew is not
on the mountains. What more
natural than a joy ride in a plane.
Atticus didn't know much about a
plane. but running one looked easy.
They all seemed to 60 up and then
come safely down again.
Head for North Carolina
Looking about for a likely bus,
Atticus found all the army air
craft pretty we'll secured. So he
looked over the rest Of the field
He visited the hangar Of the Aero
club, but that was not inviting
Next he came to the Curtiss Fly
ing School hangar. There he found
q two scatter which seemed to be
rearing to 60. It needed two men
for comfort James Brown, an-
other soldier, happened by. Hoppe
told him Of his plans and Brown
fell In with them. Both agreed
that North Carolina would look fine
toward the cool Of the morning.
1t was midnight Of May 10 when
they wheeled the plane out Of the
hangar and hopefully hit the air.
But 1t was not to be. Excitemen,
overlook the fleeing, flying pair and
the first thing they knew the plane
had tumbled nose first into the
shallow water near the Hampton
Roads beach.
Oh, Watta Life!

In Flliott's experience as building

anyone walking downstairs when an
