THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN. FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE. 27, 1919 PAGE NINE ' 1 FIRST FLEET OF PLANES TO TAKE PART IN MEMORIAL LAND AT STATE FAIR FIELD Tli roe Make Flight From Rockwell Field, Coming Separ ately DeTIaviland Machine Strikes Ditch. And is Damaged Two Other Planes Leaving Coast at Same Hour Had Failed to Arrive in City at Late Ilour Last Night May be on Desert LAST 1 MEET TONIGHT-FOR Airplane, American Ace and Movie Star, With. Bands And Singers "Will Vie in the Finish Fast Making Winging1 their way Into the-valley one by one and far apart, three air planes, the vanguard of the army air squadron from Rockwell Field that will be hore for the Frank Luke air mem orial tournament tomorrow nicht, ar rived in j'hoenix yesterday afternoon after a siu-cosh ful flight from the field. Only one thins marred the day. The first plane to arrive, a DeHaviland "lUiKbirri" model, struck an Irriga tion dit'h in landing at the state fair grounds and turned over, smash ins; the wings and propeller beyond repair this side of the field. The plane's occupants, Iieut. W. C. Gold borough, pilot, and Liet. R. H. Haslam, engineering officer, were not injured. , The other two planes, both Curtiss Tlispnnns, arrived later in the day and landed without mishap. The two other plane of the squadron, a fast 7,aT'cre and a Herman Fokker, failed in arrive and had not been heard from nt a late hour. It was supposed th;u they had got off their course and landed in some western part of the state, rather than fly in by night over strange territory, and are expected to arrive this morning. Five Planes Start Vive planes of three of the latest and best American models and one Herman model composed the squadron which left Rockwell Field about 9 I I lock yesterday morning. Included in it were the "Bluebird," a heavy, ana last type of the DeHaviland 4 model, i. LePore, two Curtiss-IIispanos of the lype so often seen in this city and :he captured Fokker. the German pur suit plane. On account of the difference in peod. the planes were soon separated, and each pilot flew his course indu tKMideritlv. The D. H. "Bluebird" and the Lal'ere. the fastest of the. planes, were the first to reach Yuma, doing before the middle of the day. There m and oil were taken on and thu ;. lanes resumed the flight for Phoenix., It was soon after leaving Yuma that I he 7, a Pore disappeared, after starting immediately after its companion. Jjieut. I islarn and t,ieut. Goldborough, in the I'.la 'bird, did not see it change its .'mirso it had gone from sight when :!iov looked back. It is possible that the I,a Pore's pilot. I.ieut. MoCulloch. mistof.k the Gila river for a creek and 'ullo'.vod instead the Colorado, not dis "voring his mistake until too late t make it to Phoenix during the day. Goes on its Nose Th" Bluebird remained on a straight "irutse far Phoenix, laying about 14,0'w to escape the sun's heat, and at VJ:' landed at the st-ate fair grounds. J bo air was light and treacherous and when the big bomber hit the ground It did not stop in time to avoid a ditch ht the end of the field, and too nea,r the fence to take the air again. th wheels struck the ditch, the big nip went over on its nose, breaking the propeller, and then topped for ward ami over. Lieut. Go'dborough i n 1 . Lieut . Hasl.-im extricated them selves io find their plane damaged so ioi"ic-sly that it will have to be re alised to the field by rail for repairs. The second plane arrived at 6:15, i.ik.ted by Lieut. J. T. Lawson. with Sergeant Rumley as passenger. Lighter ind slower than the DeHaviland, it inded perfectly. It was followed .vitliin an hour and a half by the other Curtiss. with I,ieut. Byron Cummlngs and Cadet Cardiff. The second "Hisso" also landed perfectly, and its fliers were met later at the Adams hotel by Lieutenants Lawson, Haslan, and Goldborough and H. D. McVay, chairman of the Luke memorial com mittee. Sergeant Pilot Nassamer and Sergeant Mason of the aerial recruit ing squadron here the last two weeks had already greeted Lieut. Cummings and Cadet Cardiff, Fokker is Lost The Fokker proved the mystery ship of the squadron and managed to drop from sight early in the flight. Ordi narily a fast ship, other pilots of the squadron had noted that it seemed to be making poor time, and Its where abouts last night was a mystery. Ef forts to find some trace of the Fokk'i and the missin LaPere at Yuma and other points last night were unavail ing, at least fourteen reports being heard from Yuma. Both planes are expected to arrive here today, or at least to be heard from. The Fokker Is piloted by Lieut, L. A. Dayton. While the squadron from Rockwell Field was in flight here for the tourna ment, both planes which are covering the state in a recruting campaign under command of Captain L. E. Ap pleby were heard from. According to latest reports, Captain Appleby's plane. damaged when he landed at Tucson Wednesday, cannot be repaired in time to return here for the tournament, as parts will not be shipped to it from the field until this morning. The other plane, piloted by Lieut. R. S. Worth ington, has been repaired and will be here for the tournament, according to a message last night. May Get More Planes Captain Appleby will probably return here this morning by train, white Lieut, Worthington and Captain E. L. Darrow, medical officer, are expected to fly back during the day. With at least two planes scheduled to take part in the tournament out of commission, an effort is being made to get some more planes from the field. A DeHaviland to take the place of the one smashed yesterday is expected o srrive in time for the tournament. Ac cording to plans at least seven planes will be gathered here to honor Frank Luke and the other Maricopa county boys who gave their lives in the war.
