ESCAPES INJURY
IN PLANE CRASH
Student Aviator's Craft Falls
in Swamp Near WASH
ington Port.

Brooke Cunningham, 1912 Ridge
street, Chevy Chase, Md, student
flyer at Hoover Field. escaped uninjured
when he completely wrecked a Travelair
CO three-seater biplane in the swamp
back of Washington Airport shortly
after take-off at Hoover Field at about
1890 o'clock this morning.
More than 1000 persons, 100 of whom
were tourists awaiting their turn to take
sightseeing flights over the. city from
the two fields just over the Potomac
witnessed the crash, which left the BIZ
plane. its wings crushed. nosed into the
soft muck that covers the south end of
the Washington Airport landing field
Continued Flights.
None of the tourists was deferred
however, from taking flights. and while
the wrecking crew from Hoover Field
gathered up the remains of the wrecked
plane from the swamp, planes from
both fields continued their flights over
the Capital.
Cunningham, student flyer with
about 40 hours solo flying, according to
Hoover Field officials, had just taken
of and was flying low over the lower enc
of the Washington Airport Field when
his engine went dead. The plane was
nosed up and headed for the patch OF
swamp when Cunningham tried to turn
it into the level, hard groups of the
landing field Without the pull of the
engine, the plane went into spin, and
landed on its right wing in the mud
twisting over on its back and burying
its nose also in the mud.
Sent to Hospital.
William DeChaizo, a mechanic at
Hoover Field, who saw the plane crash,
was on the scene in a few minutes and
eXtricated Cunningham from the up
turned cockpit of the wrecked plane
and sent him TO Emergency Hospital in
a bus used by the flying field to trans
port flying students to and from the
Capital.
At the hospital 1t was ascertained
that. while badly shaken up, Cunning
ham was not suffering from any injur-
les, and he was allowed to walk out OF
the hospital and to go to his home.
Hoover Field officials said that Cum
ningham made several flights in the
same plane yesterday with Capt. Ira
c. Eaker of Question Mark endurance
fight fame, and was allowed to take 1t
up today as result of his expert
handling of it yesterday. Most of Cum
ningham's training has been in lighter
planes, however, it was said.

He thinks that most persons do not
eat enough meat and consequently he
is by no means vegetarian.
After serving l8 months with Gen.
Nathan Forrest, the Confederate caval-
ry leader, Col. Eggleston went to Okla
homa at the end of the Civil War,
where he settled on one of his fathers
plantations. Later he purchased a
granite quarry, the operation of which
