LIEUTENANT DOISY
REMARKABLE ESCAPE Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, June 14. (Received June 15, at 1.30 p.m.) Lieutenant Doisy’s hair was singed and one hand was slightly injured. Gouin frantically signalled the accompanying piano, and the pilot, seeing that the airmen were safe, immediately returned to Le Bourget with the tiding for the wives, who were terrified spectators of tho blazing machine. Meanwhile scores of aeroplanes, cars, and ambulances rushed to the scene, and tho occupants were overjoyed to find the men alive. Tho airmen regretfully left the debris of tho machine and motored to Lo Bourget, then to Paris.
Tho meteorological bulletin was distinctly bad, but Lieutenant Doisy was very anxious to be ahead of Lieutenants Carr and Macktvorth, who arc still waiting at Cranwell.
Aviation circles are deeply disappointed because so much was expected of the flight.
