3 Air Crashes In 10 Years Still Mystery

CAA Has Set Good Record of Determining Cause

Special Writer WASHINGTON. Sept. 30—Only

five unexplained fatal airplane ac-

cidents are found in the Civil §

Aeronautics Admini tration files since 1940,

Search of “the files was made following allegations that a bomb meant to kill the wife of a Quebec jeweler caused the crash of a Quebec Airways plane Sept. 9 with the death of 19 passengers and a crew of four, The CAA Is the policeman of the U. 8. airways and goes into each scheduled and certified non sched uled crash with an expert crew of investigators. : Record of Crashes Here is the record of unexplained crashes during the present decade: 1949 None, 1948 March 10: A regular Delta Airlines plane. flying out of Chicago, crashed shortly after takeoff, killing eight passengers, injuring one, and bringing death to the crew of four. It climbed steeply, then dipped sharply to the ground. No evidence of mechanical’ or structural defect could be found. > 2 Nov. 4—A Pacific Alaska twomotored plane, making a routine hop in Alaska, disappeared with

15 pasengers and two crew mem-

bers, and has not been located 1947—May 30: An Eastern Airlines plane, en route from Newark to Miami, suddenly went out of control-and crashed in Maryland killing 49 passengers and its crew of four. There has been no explanation CAA can find for this pccident, 1946—A non scheduled airline, Winged Cargo, Inc., two-motor type plane, flying from San Jose, Costa. Rica, to Jamaica, disappeared with five pasengers and two crew members. 1941—An American Airlines DC-3, flying just over the border fhto Canada, crashed near Sheeder, Ont, killing 17 passengers sad three crew m>mbers. No indication as to cause. U. 8. airlines are making a safety record this year that gives CAA experts little investigation work to do. Airline executives have their fingers crossed, in the hope this will be one of the best years they have ever had.

Helldivers Hurled At Greek Reds

American Officer in

Charge of Operations By GEORGE WELLER Times Foreign Correspondent LARISSA, Greece, Sept. 30 The airborne punch that is keeping Greece's Communists on the, run is supplied by 40 iron- bine helldivers working out of this well-worn bomber strip.

The Greeks like this American, carrier plane because, as one] Greek pilot says, “It's like your) washing machines and your elec-| itrical egg-beaters; it saves labor.” The helldiver can carry two! tons of bombs, rockets and greasy flame-spreader. The spitfire, Sreece’'s only fighter-bomber till now, can carry only a half-ton. “We do four trips to the front one,” said one pilot. | Though the Grammos Mountain complex of the guerrillas is broken, the Rhelldivers are called upon for special jobs on the va-| rious holdout positions scattered! all over Greece. | “Our intention,” says Lt. Col Dan Riva of Hartford, Conn... an {8th Air Force 8- 17 veteran now ladvising Greek operations, “is to clobber them hard wherever they show their heads.” Copyright. 1949. by The Indianapalis Times and Chicago Daily New: In |
