FIVE AIRMEN KILLED
BOMBING PLANE CRASHES. BODIES LEFT UNDER WRECKAGE. Paris, May 7. There was a terrible flying mishap at the Avord Military Aerodrome, when five were killed. An aeroplane was dropping bombs during practice, when one wing became detached and the machine crashed. The bodies of the five men had to be left under the machine all night, as two unexploded bombs were in the wreckage. It is feared that there will be a further disaster unless the bombs arc removed by experts. —Australian Press Association.
