the surface of the Elizabeth
River. into which the plane
plunged Sunday afternoon seven
minutes after taking off, killing
all aboard
Mr.. Fluet said the fact the
wheel was under water may help

on fire at the takeoff. The plane
was in flames before it crashed
and the wheel could have been
burned if it had not been
Quenched in the water. he added.
Brake Fire Reported.
The tower transcript showed
that Capt. William E. Thompson,
who had flown the ship into New
ark from the West Coast, reported
the brake was on fire as he
watched the Inflated takeoff.

which many witnesses said was
burning badly, also was taken to
the Linden shops for examination.
The maintenance records for the
plane also arrived from the
Miami Office of Miami Airline,
Inc, operators of the plane, Mr..
Fluet said.
He said these records will show
how recently checks had been
