RICKENBACKER
In AIRPLANE

There is a yarn being spun about
Capt. f. V. Rickenbacker, that has
been bringing chuckles from those
who have heard the story, especially
those who owned models of automo-
biles in the halcoyn days Of yester.
year.
1t is told by Steve flanagan. who
accompanied Capt. Rickenbacker on
his attempted $1,000 mile airplane
trip during the past summer, and the
scene is laid in Iowa.

way from Chicago" relates Hanna.
gan. and were flying full speed
ahead for Omaha, Nebr.. Rick and I
were in the cabin of the seven pas
senGer plane with the pilot and me
chaniclan up forward in the cockpit.
I was taking n nap dreaming dreams
of a long delayed meal to the tune of
n perfectly purring motor. But 1t
stopped and so did my nap. I awoke
with a start to find the pilot fran.
ticaliy looking for a landing field. We
spirralled down. SKINNED over n
clump of tall trees and settled in a
perfect landing in a field about three
feet high in clover.
81 yawned and stretched my arms
in perfect contentment for I had
nothing to do with the motor. and
was just about 10 continue my nap
in the clover bed. when l saw a typi.
cal Iowa farmer rushing up to the
scene at maximum speed. shouting
like an Indian and loftinE n nasty
looking spade in tomahawk fashion.
1T looked like curtains for the
party and I dived back into the cabin
and closed the door. The chap came
along side the ship in a courteous
and hospitable fashion and excitedly
asked, SIS this Eddie Rickenbacker's
plane?' Being very much treasured
and my heart rapidly getting back to
normal 1 answered Yes'-through a
window.
els Rickenbacker here was his
next question. And of course he was.
Wei my dad certainly will be glad
to see him. said the farmer boy with
fiendish glee.

We'll because he used to live over at
Omaha n sixteen tear ago he sold
my father an automobile And re-
Numbering the atrocities that were
committed IN those days I was more
scared than ever before.
Just then the grand old man came
into the picture. And he actually
threw his arms around Capt. Ricken-
backer-for selling him one of those
clattertraps OF sixteen years ago.
And the reason he was so anxious to
sec Eddie was to ask his advice on
the purchase Of a new car. That de.
feated me SO l went on back to
