NOTED ILYER KILLED] 1N ATTEMPT TO MAEI RECORD FLIGHT EAST PLANE CRASHES INTO CLIFF IN DESPERATE STRUGGLE TO CROSS MOUNTAINS WERE UNABLE TO LAND Mist And Rain Caused Wreck When Ship Was Forced Down Near Bradshaw Mountains (By Associated Press) PRESCOTT, Ariz., Nov. 5-A famed triumvirate of the air-two noted air speedsters and a fleet lit- tle champion of the upper reaches -has written its last entry on the pages of aviation history in a bold record challenge which ended ab- ruptly against a sheer Arizona mountain -cliff. Death penned the final reports of the courageous attempt of Capt. C. B. D. Collyer to flash to a new west-to-east trans-continenta non- stopc record in the trin V- Yankee Doodle, with Harry Tucker, the plane's owner, riding as a passenger. The broken bodies ofdthe two mren, Collyer a co-holder of the around-the-world travel record and Tucker a record holder with his proud little air whippet of both cast-west and west-east trans-con- tinental records, were brought into Prescott on pack burros today. Letters in their pockets were need- ed to establish the men's identities. In the face of unfavorable weath- er reports the craft took off from Mine Field, Los Angeles, at 3:29 p. w. Saturday. The owner an- nounced it was to be an attempt to lower the Yankee Doodle's record of 16 hours and 58 minutes for the eastward passage. The plane evidently cracked up between 7:30 and 8 p. m. Saturday, though its fate and that of the passenger and pilot who dared and lost was not learned until Sunday afternoon when searchers pushed into the rugged mountains, and found remnants of the ship strewn for a quarter mile down the can- yon. For almost, an hour Saturday night, as the last flight of the Yan- kee Doodle has been pieced to- gether by the stories of observ- ers, the famous plane and pilot battled despite a failng motor to clear the 8,000 foot peaks of the Bradshaw mountains. At 7:30, its knocking, sputtering motor had been heard eightrmiles southhof Prescott. Somettime later the plane cir- cled four times a narrow valley in which the lights of a half dozen miners' cabins twinkledhthrough the rain and midst. The steady drizzle of rain defeated Collyer's attempt to find a landing place. As the last circle was made, the plane was only a few hundred feet off the -ground. Then Collyer ap- parently determined to make a last desperate attempt to force his plane over the mountain. The ship carried 490 gallons of gasoline at the take-off, which ex- ploded as it smashed into the cliff with bullet-like speed. Brumm.
