month, having originally been stationed
at Paris Island. S. c., enlisting from
Milwaukee. De Wine was from New

All three planes were travelling at the

the accident occurred.
Lieut.. Swartwouts plane, the first to
strike the ground. was demolished. It's
occupants were buried beneath the pile
of wreckage. Lieut.. De Wines plane
also was badly wrecked.
A wing belonging to Swartwolt's S
