§Test Pilot Is Killed In Plane Crash —

P-39 PLUNGES INTO LAKE WITH JACK WOOLAMS

Super-Charged Ship Breaks In Two in Tune-Up For Air Races.

By EDWARD N. FEINEN United Press Staff Correspondent

YOUNGSTOWN, N. Y. Aug. 31. ~The coast guard attempted to recover the wreckage of a red P-39 Alracobra from Lake Ontario today to determine the cause of the crash which killed Jack Woolams, 29, chief test pilot for Bell Aircraft Corp.

He was killed a month before he was scheduled to fly a rocket-power-

to plane faster than the speed of |

und. Mr. Woolams' super-charged plane broke in two and plunged into the lake seven miles east of here last night. He was tuning it up for the! $40,000 Thompson trophy race on Labor day in the national air races at Cleveland. 2000 Yards Off Beach The coast guard had located the wreckage in 25 feet of water about 2000 yards off Harrison beach. Holsting’equipment was taken to the scene to haul the plane to the surface,

Coast guardsmen last night re- | ported recovering what appeared Wy be a part of a man’s body but no| clothing. A seat pack for an airplane and the covering for a fabric fuel tank were found floating near | the scene of the crash.

Tail Falls Off

Eye-witnesses said they saw Mr. Woolams’ red P-39 streaking across

tail fell off. Seconds later, they said, the plane exploded and plunged into Lake Ontario. “lI saw the plane speed out over the lake.at a terrific rate and suddenly the tail fell off,” Harry Harrison, Buffalo, said. “Seconds later came a flash of flames and a loud explosion. The plane then went out of control and dived nose first into the water.” Carl Williams; Niagara Falls, and Howard Kelber, a member of the jiagara Falls fire department, raced to the scene in a small boat. They found only a large oil spot and a few pieces of floating debris. Mr. Woolams, father of three small children, had made a onehour test hop earlier in the day. He was out about 20 minutes on a second test flight when the accident occurred, Bell officials reported. He circled the airport about five times and then headed toward the lake

Set Altitude Records Two days ago Mr. Woolams had placed second among the qualifiers) for the Thompson air race with an average speed of 392.7 miles per hour. In 1944, Mr. Woolams penetrated

Lifford, 35, of Anderson received only minor bruises and lacerations in the demolished car which was dragged more than 200 feet. They were taken to City hospital for treatment by deputy sheriffs who investigated the accident, Deputies said the auto was carried 100 feet up the tracks by a westbound passenger train then tossed into the path of an eastbound passenger train.

AIR RACES HAVE VETERANS DIZZY

Eyes Pop at Speed Shown By New Planes.

By MAX B. COOK Seripps-Howard Aviation Editer CLEVELAND, Aug. 31.—Air race veterans sat through the first day of the national air races with mouths agape and eyes popping. Speed and more speed had them dizzy. Three jets sped past at about 550 thiles an hour, Paul Mantz, pi-

Mr. Mantz ber of the Quiet Birdmen of long

ago, “what's happened?” What had happened was a war, billions spent in research and development and in trained top-flight pilots. When someone suggested two weeks ago that past records might | fall by 100 miles an hour, the reply | was: “It can't be done. The new | planes and engines are not that good.” Saw It Happen But yesterday, they saw it happen. Fastest Bendix time, prior to, today. was Frank Fuller's 282.008 miles an hour, set in 1939. Mante'| time was just 153.5 miles an hour | faster than that. And that 153 miles an hour is about the cruising | speed of today's DC-3 airliners, Even in the qualifying tests for |

next Monday's famed Thompson | trophy race, Alvin Johnston, flying | a Bell P-39, chalked up 409.09 miles | an hour. The highest qualifying time in past years was Col. Roscoe Turner's | 297 miles an hour in 1938 and he won the race with a record 28341 miles an hour, An age-old argument between supporters of radial airplane engines and the liquid-cooled “inline” reciprocating engines has never been answered to anyone's | satisfaction. But the boys flying today’s racing planes are getting their speed out of P-51's and their Packard-Rolls/ or Allison engines and P-38's, with |
