Air men knew what it meant and were terrified. To the laymen and to the parents of the two girls, who were watching, it meant nothing. Mrs. : Levine was smiling happily, thinking of the plea re her little girls was getting out of her first ride in the air. Quietly, trying not to alarm the parents, the men on the field set to work. Gene Smith, pilot, jumped into

an observation plane and chased after the Bellanca. As the two came together. Smith leaned from the cock pit. thrust out the wheel of the truck i and gestured frantically downward.

He, too, gestured to Chamber- ; !:r ni'k•- -’ire !,e understooi) and i the pilot of the Bellanca nodded gravely. I Slowly the Bellanca circled over the I field, and for nearly an hour the strange drama was enacted —on the ground a thousand people, now aware of what portended, watching anxious ly; an ambulance racing to the scene; ! trucks with men aboartl trying to fol i low the course of the planes.to be at I the landing spot, and in the air the I Bellanca and its two escorts circlinj. steadily around, the one unable to land with dire peril and the two help less to aid it. In the Bellanca, Chamberlin’s miqd was working busily. Chamberlin, one of the most ex perienced pilots in the business, came down with a precision that stirred th< experts on the ground to throat? cries of exultation. The plane settled . like a feather, drifting over the ground and finally touching with thi ' lightest of bumps on its good wheel.
