Grated 81 minutes before Col Leland

Field, Sacramento, announced its
verdict. The flyer, 1t. William N.

shin died October % when it plunged
rudderless into a mountain canyon

occurred. He said he was preparing
to land at Palm Springs when there
was a sudden jar, sending his plane
lurching upward. He had crossed
the liners path some minutes previ-
ously. he declared, after rocking the
wings of his own in signal to his
friend, L. F. Report OF Canton,
Ohio. the airliner's first officer.
He believed the other plane to be

tached to the Army's desert training
center, Camp Young, said he saw
the collision from Palm Springs and
described how the liner cut beneath
the bomber, then was sent spinning

There was no statement regarding
1t Wilson's return to active duty
with the ferrying command. y But his
