ENDURANCE RECORD
AMERICAN PLANE
ENDED BY CRASH INTO LAKE
NEW YORK, September 7.
A message from Syracuse says that a few minutes after the pilots signalled "We like our home in the sky; we don't know when we'll come down," a 50 horse-power monoplane in which Harold Allen and Merrill Phoenix had set a world endurance record for light aircraft crashed into Lake Onondaga.
The pilots, who had been aloft for 106 hours, were not injured. They scrambled from the sinking plane through the open windshield, and swam ashore. They explained that the motor stopped while they were changing plugs.
