The flyers, First Lieut. Albert E. Harter and Staff Sergt. Cub H. Bums, both of Columbus, took off at the airport, gaining about 400 feet altitude and then, their plane seem ing to lose speed, fell, the gasoline tank quickly bursting into flames. Capt.

Their ptrM Tn the air show at an end, the men were starting a return trip to Columbus, operating base for the 308th observation squadron to which they were attached.
