Knowing that something wrong. Hunter
decided to land on the ice of Lake st. Clair.

Col. Lindbergh joined the Caterpillar Club
in 1925 while he was cadet at Kelly Field,
Tex. He was forced to leap for his life when
his plane collided in mid-air with ship
piloted by Lieut.. C. D. McAllister Like Lind
bergh, Lieut.. McAllister leaped to membership
in the exclusive Caterpillar organization.
Less than three morKhs later Lindbergh
became the first two-time member of the club.
This occurred at the Lambert-St. Louis Flying
Field, when a ship that Lindbergh, then a
lieutenant, was testing went into a left-hand
spin at 1000 feet. Despite every effort of the
young officer to bring the plane under control.
1t kept spinning earthward. At 300 feet
Lindbergh jumped
Lost at night in fog above territory that
he knew to be too hazardous to attempt a
landing, Lindbergh, on September 16, 1926,
made his third emergency jump when his fuel
gave out. THE motor sputtered and died."
Lindbergh said. Il stepped mp on the cowng
and out over the right side of the cockpit,
pulling the rip-cord after about 10O-foot fall
The parachute func5oned perfectly, and once
again Lindbergh was spared.
Ltndbergh's fourth leap occurred two months
later, when he unable to ind q landing
because of fog and snow and out of fuel
while flying the air mail near Covell, Ill. This
time ne landed on top of barbed-wi fence
but was unhurt when the barbs failed to pene-
trate his heavy flying suit
The only woman member of the club is Mrs
Irene Mcfarland. Mrs. Mcfarland was to make
an exhibition parachute jump from a plane over
Cincinnati, Ohio. Before she left the ground.
Maj. Hoffman of the Army Air Corps prevailed
upon her to strap on an Army parachute in
addition to the one she intended to use in the
Jump. This fact alone saved her life, because
her own parachute fouled on the landing gear
and did not open. She pulled the rip-cord OF
the Army parachute and descended safely to
the ground.

downward. I distinctly remember looking at
my feet three times, with the knowledge that
they pointed toward the sky. Upon locating
and pulling the rip-cord the parachute opened
almost Immediately"
This episode marked a milestone in aviation
history, for, although the parachute in in
Vulnerable tests had been proved efficient there
was more or less skepticism among air men as
to the ability of the flyer to think and act
rapidly enough to get free from falling ship
and operate a parachute before too great loss
OF altitude for safety.
There also were doubts as to whether the
speed Of the fall might not cause unconscious
ness. Because of his mistake in pulling the
leg-strap instead of rip-cord ring, Lieut.. Harris
fell nearly 1000 feet before his parachute
opened. During his entire drop, Harris
ported, his mind was clear and capable Of
thinking with great rapidity.
Two Of the newer members of the club are
Lieut.. Harvey T. Dyer, pilot, and Sergt. Frank
j. Siebenaler, passenger, of United States
Army transport plane that crashed near San
Antonio, Tex, carrying six enlisted men to their
deaths. Lieut.. dyer jumped after struggling
to regain control of the big ship when it went
into 4.000-foot spin. Siebenaler, who was
riding with Dyer in the cockpit thrown
from the plane as it fell and saved himself
from certain death by using his parachute.
The six men killed all wore parachutes but
apparently were unable to use them.
A MID-AIR collision of two planes from the
Langley Field, Va, Tactical School resulted
in death for Capt. Robert A. Archibald, of the
Marine Corps, and membership in the Cater
pillar Club for Capt. Earl r. Deford, also OF
the Marine Corps Archibald, like Deford,
attempted to make parachute drop but pulled
the rip-cord an instant too soon. The para
chute became entangled I'm the tail assembly of
his plane and he was hurled to his death OH
the ground.
The jump that made Lieut.. Frank O'D.

than hundred emergency leaps are on record
The four leaps made by Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh, two of them at night, while flying
the air mail, constitute the highest individual
parachute score. Two leaps each are recorded
for Maj James Rutledge, former pilot for the
Pacific Air Transport Co, flying on the Los
Angeles Oakland Seattle run; Capt. Frank CD.

Not only because his action paved the way
to formation of the Caterpillar Club but also
because of the circumstances under which it
was made Lieut.. Harris jump is Of special
interest.
On October 20, 1922, Lieut.. Harris was flight
testing some new experimental-type balanced
ailerons that had been installed on a Looming
pursuit monoplane. At the same time, he was
indulging in combat practice with Lieut.. Muir
S. Fairchild, who was flying Thomas-Morse
scout. Lieut.. Fairchild made a left turn, and
Lieut.. Harris, to keep the sights of the Looming
machine guns fixed the Thomas Morse,
turned also. The two planes were flying at
speed OF $50 miles an hour.
SUDDENLY something went wrong and the
~ control stick, with which lateral control of
a plane is maintained by the pilot. started to
oscillate so violently that 1t was knocked out
of Lieut.. Harris hands, severely bruising his
legs Just above the knees With control gone
the plane started to fall.
81 opened my safety belt and slid out through
the top of the fuselage clear of the airplane,"
Lieut.. Harris said later when reporting his
experience. 1.-THE wind velocity was very high
and no effort was necessary to leave the cock
pit, as the wind. sweeping up. carried my body
absolutely free. Particles of wing or aieron
were flying from the left wing just before
left the ship.
after clearing the plane an attempt was
made to operate the cord which permits the

repeatedly grasping the leg-strap fitting,

separate attempts were made before the ring

DOPING and Splrallng more than q
mile above the EARTH an Army pilot
was giving new type pursuit plane
its final structural tests. On the
ground below, an interested group of
officers, field glasses trained on the plane
watched the maneuvers.
The test was thorough. Every twist, bank
and roll that might be necessary during aerial
combat was executed by the Army flyer.
Machine guns deadly, and upon the ability
of combat pilot to turn his plane little
more sharply than the enemy or to climb a
trtfie faster, rests the margin between defeat
and victory.
Suddenly a puff Of black smoke shot back
from the engine cowling. Almost instantly. it
appeared to the watchers, flames enveloped the
entire ship which zoomed crafty skyward into
a stall.
AS the forward momentum of the doomed
plane ceased, the pilot leaped from the cock
pit and fell plummet-like toward the EARTH
One, two. three seconds passed. Then white
mushroom snapped open above the falling man.
and his breath-taking drop became a lazy,
swinging float Once again parachute had
functioned in an emergency and one more
name was added to the roll of the Caterpillar
Club.
WHAT Is the Caterpillar Club? According
NV to the Information Division of the War
Department, it is an organization of flyers who
have saved their lives by forced emergency
jumps from arpaneS or balloons In Hight The
membership requirements are higher than those
OF any other organization in existence, because
to join the club one must virtually lose ones
life, then regain it,
The club started following discussion among
two Dayton Ohio, newspaper men, Morris
Hutton reporter and Verne Zimmerman, pho
tographer, and H. H. st. Clair of the parachute
unit at Wright Field. This discussion took
place Immediately after the sensational forced
leap Of Lieut.. Harold r. Harris, chief of Nc
Cook Field flying section, in october, 1922. The
future value Of the parachute was foreseen
from the success that attended the Army flyers
leap from a rapidly falling and disntegrating
plane.
1t was suggested that club be organized
composed only of persons whose lives were saved
by use of parachute when forced to leave an
aircraft In fight. The name probably resulted
from the fact that parachutes are manufactured
from silk, q product of the caterpillar cocoon.
The Caterpillar Club has no officers, consti-
tuition or bylaws. Its aim is simply the
collection of data relative to emergency para
chute jumps, with short statement of cir
cumstances attending the leaps and photographs
Of the person saved These are mounted In the
Caterpillar Club album in the parachute unit
