NAVY PLANE CRASHES
10 Americans Killed (N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) ARGENTINA (Newfoundland), Nov. 18. A United States Navy patrol plane plunged into the Atlantic and exploded in flames near this American Naval air station last night, killing all 10 men aboard, United Press International reported. The U.S. Navy said an extensive surface and aerial search of the crash site showed there was no survivors. The four-engined P3A Orion aircraft went down in Placentia Bay while attempting a landing. All that searchers could find floating at the storm-swept site four miles from the station were bits of clothing and debris believed to be remnants of the big plane.
