WITNESSES OF AIR
CRASH DISAGREE
Some Say Maj. Geiger's
Plane Was Burning Before
1t Fell to Ground.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press,
MIDDLETOWN, Pa, May 18.-Of-
fiCers of Olmstead Air Field here yes
terday began in investigation to deter
mine the cause OF the plane wreck in
which Maj. Harold Geiger was killed
yesterday. Some witnesses stated that
the plane caught fire in the air, while
others claimed that there were no
flames until after it struck the ground,
Capt. Harrison Flickinger. who wit
messed the wreck, said the plane went
into a pancake drop at an altitude
of only 60 feet. Maj. Geiger, who was
commander of the 49th Bombardment
Squadron, at Aberdeen. Md, evidently
had effected his release from the cock
pit and had Crawled some distance
after striking the ground before being
overcome by the fire, which was fed
by the so gallons of gasoline the plane
carried. He was badly burned before
he could be reached.
One theory of the cause of the acci-
dent was that the motor was not
geared up properly, with the result
that the plane swerved 20 the left with
the engine missing and finally dropped,
Native of New Jersey.
Accompanying Maj. Geiger on his
fligh- here was Lieut.. G. II. Steele of
the Aberdeen Field, who was to have
taken another plane back to his home
field.
Maj. Geiger. a native Of New Jersey
and a graduate of the United States
Military Academy Of the class of 1908,
attained the rank of lieutenant colonel
during the World War. In 1926 he
was graduated from the Air Service
Tactical School. at Langley Field, Va.
He is survived by a widow and two
children.
Confusion between the altitude and
spark controls of his airplane probably
caused the fatal crash, Capt. Earl De-
ford, investigating officer, announced
la7t night. Maj. Geieer probably
pulled the wrong control, the captain
said.
Lack of power was the result and
when he saw that he could not clear
a warehouse he turned to the left
when the plane was about 60 feet in
the air. The machine had not sufficient
speed to make the turn and slipped
off on wing"
The plane apparently righted itself
and continued over the ground for 20
feet before it stopped and burst into
flames.
