TWO KELLY FIELD PILOTS
FLIRT WITH GRIM REAPER

Landing an airplane safely during
a rainstorm that so darkens the at
mosphere that objects cannot be seen
200 yards away would seem a diff
cult feat even on level ground.
It becomes an almost unbelievable
accomplishment when the ship is
brought to a stop on top of hill so
steep that it requires 40 men with
rope and pulley to get it down to the
foot of the incline.
Such, however. was the feat of
Captain c. w. Childress of Kelly
Field or the memorable flight from
Washington to Moundsville, W. Va,
October 16.
Captain Childress was one of Al
pilots who took off from Washington
for Moundsville.
BY the time be reached Uniontown,
Pa. the rain had become so heavy
that he could not see to follow the
route farther.
LANDS ON HILL.
He attempted to pick out the lapd.
ing field where Captain A. B. Nc
Daniel and Lieutenant j. |. Moore
already had landed.
Instead of the landing field, he Sc
lected the golf course and glided down
on what appeared to be level ground.
The spot on which the plane landed
proved to be near the foot of a hill
that rose at an angle of 80 or 40 de-
srces..

PROUD OF PROPERTY

And when the piled-up rocks and
boards of the Boy Scout Home became
the embryo of a handsome house, the
Girl Scouts tried not to be too jeal-

orphans than they ever did before.
Now the Girl Scouts own at least
the back yard of a home, and they
are as proud of their property as
though a great house already were
built.

Beretta said. "They will assist the

LANDS IN CIRCLE.

The assistance of 40 men were re-
quired in rolling the plane down the
hill.
Another peculiar experience was
that of Lieutenant L. d. Jones.
Lieutenant Jones was forced by
darkness to land at Roscoe, W. Va.
He selected the only available field
which happened to be across the rivel
from the town.
The field made a sharp bend near
the middle.
1t proved so narrow that Lieuten-
ant Jones had to guide his ship around
the curve as he came to a stop.
In taking off the next day he had
to make the same change of course as
his plane gathered speed and then had
to turn directly ~ the river to escape

in a straight course.
