FONCK PUTS BLAME
ON LANDING GEAR
Failure to Function Properly
Caused Plane Wreck, He
Tells Jury.
BY the Associated Press.

HAMPSTEAD, N. Y. September %.
Failure of auxiliary landing gear to
function properly is blamed for the
wreck of the giant Sikorsky biplane
and the deaths of two of his COM
panions by Capt Rene Fonck, French
ace and leader of the tragic attempt
to make a nonstop fight to Paris.
Fonck was called as a witness at
the inquest into the deaths of jacob
Islamoff, Russian mechanic, and
Charles Clavier, radio operator OF the
Sikorsky plane, who died in the burn
ing wreckage when the plane crashed
at the take-off.
Criticism of Fonck.
Earlier in the day District Attorney
Edwards made public an affidavit from
Col. H. E. Hartney, former general
manager of the Argonauts, Inc, orig
inal promoters of the fight, in which
Col. Hartney declared he resigned
from that organization because Of
Capt. Fonck's participation. He gave
as his reasons Capt. Fonck's alleged
lack of rehearsal flights, poor pilotage,
responsibility and incompetency and
a desire not to jeopardize the friendly
relations between France and America.
may take will probably be determined
by the findings Of the coroner's In
quiry.
Capt. Fonck took issue with Col.
Hartney in declaring that the plane
actually took the air, and said that
if the landing gear had not been dam
aged, he would have been able to
make a normal landing at Curtiss
Field below the bluff at the end of
the Roosevelt Field runway. The
damaged gear caused the plane to
"cartwheel" and turn over when 1t
landed, he said. He believed Islanloff
and Clavier were killed or rendered
unconscious by the crash and were
not burned to death.
Denies Blaming Mechanics.
Fonck was unable to give any rea-
son for the collapse of the auxiliary
landing gear. He denied published re-
ports that he had placed any blame
on the mechanic, Islamoff.
Fonck and Lieut.. Lawrence Curtin,
| second pilot, and Edward Honour, ex-
pert of the French manufacturers OF
the planes engines, who were also
witnesses. united in declaring the
plane and equipment the last word
in aircraft manufacture.
Lieut.. Curtin corroborated Capt.
Fonck's testimony regarding the at
tempted take-off and declared that he
considered the French aviator COM
| petent pilot in every way.
