JEALOUSY
DUCKS CAUSE AIR CRASH. Eagles, resenting rivals in the sky, have more than once swooped on aeroplanes, but a wild duck has created a new record. A large flock of wild duck flew straight at a seaplane of the Canadian Air Force while it was cruising off Va f.couver. One of the ducks struck the pilot on the head and stunned him. He lost control of the plane, which plunged into the sea from 200 feet, throwing out the observer and nearly drowning the pilot. The observer was picked up unhurt and the pilot was rescued severely injured.
