SAVES LIFE
OF Chief
Filler Lands Safely After
Motor ails in
Taking Off.

Remarkable flying judgment and
coolheadedness saved the life of Colo
mel William F. Mitchell when an air
plane which he was plotting crashed
here at 0 90 a. m. Monday. i,
The chief of the Eighth Corps air
forces was unscathed in the accident
which resulted in complete wreck Of
his plane.
The accident occurred while Colonel
Mitchell was taking off from the Re.
mount station and in full view of the
entire staff of the Eighth Corps area
who were inspecting the station for
aviation possibilities.
MOTOR CUTS OUT.
Veteran pilots shuddered when they
saw the chiefs plane poise for an in
slant as the motor cut out at about
100 feet altitude just after the machine
had taken off.
Beneath the plane was maze of
trees, bitches, fences and other impedi-
ments which made it seem impossible
for the air chief to escape death.
Colonel Mitchell gently set the ma
chine down in the clearest space that
could be found in the vicinity.
The undercarriage struck a ditch
and the planes nose ploughed into
the ground, momentum carrying it
over in a forward somersault where it
landed on its back.
Colonel Mitchell tripped his belt,
crawled from beneath the wreckage
and grinned as he waved to the off
cial group as a signal that he had not
been injured.
Then he motoed to Fort Sam Hous-
ton and ploughed into huge pile of
correspondence on his desk.
NOTHING UNUSUAL.
"That's something we have to face
every day." declared Colonel Mitchell
in commenting on his forced land
ing.
II had made two or three land
ings at the new flying field and was
taking off again,
"My motor went dead absolutely
without a moments warning and
had to set the plane down in fence
corner. never before had a motor
to cut out on me SO suddenly"
Colonel Mitchell was accompanied
by Harry Short, civilian airplane ex-
pert.
PADS SAVE COLONEL.
"We had reached an altitude of
about so feet and we're near the edge
of the flying field" Colonel Mitchell
stated. Il didn't have sufficient alti-
tude or speed to enable me to turn
back toward the field.
Il was compelled to land straight
ahead, narrowly missing wagons and
teams engaged in preparing the flying
field.
1.-The heavy crash pads on the cowl.
ing of the plane proved of good ser
vice.
Short placed his head against the
crash pad and escaped without any
injury"
