VETERAN TRANSPORT PILOT.

Doug Davis, In addition to his spec
tacular air race activities, was a vet
tran air transport pilot and was we'll
known in Washington, one of the
regular stops on his Eastern Air Lines
run.
The skill which carried Davis to
the first rank of American pilots was
responsible for the safety of a trans
port plane load of 10 passengers,
several of them nationally known
aviation leaders, during preliminary
air passenger fight from Washington
to Atlanta, four years ago.
Davis was acting as co-pilot of the
big plane, with Frank H. Jerdone, of
Falls Church, Va, as pilot, when a
landing gear fitting snapped during
the take-of from rough field at
Spartanburg, S. G. When the dam
age was discovered during the flight
to Atlanta, Jerdone and Davis calmly
worked out plan for crash landing
which would result in the least posi-
BILE damage to plane and passengers
Only week before an Army bonn
bardment airplane of the same type
as their big transport, in a forced
landing with crippled landing gear
crashed, burned and was totally de-
stroyed with loss of the lives of part
Of its crew.
Jerdone and Davis worked out a
plan of divided responsibility for the
landing, Jerdone at one set of con-
trols seeking to hold up the wing
which was unsupported by the DAM
aged gear, while Davis attempted to
hold down the tail and keep the plane
from going over on its nose. So
skillfully was the landing handled
that, except for smashed landing gear
crumpled wing tip and smashed en-
gine nacelle, no damage was done to
the plane and not a single occupant
was even shaken up. This is believed
to have been the largest airplane evel
landed safely on damaged undercar-
riage.
Davis many months ago passed his
millionth mile of flying and has beer
flying more than is years. He was
the first civilian pilot flying a com.
mercial plane to beat all Army anC
Navy entries in national competition
and In 1929 he won the Barber and
Baldwin Trophy for the most meri.
torious flying. He was regarded as
one of the Nations most capable
transport pilots as well as one of its
greatest racing flyers.
