AIR ENDURANCE TEST

PLAN CRASHES 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,” the 50-horse-power monoplane in which Harold Allen and Merril Phoenix set a world endurance record for light aircraft, crashed into Lake'Onondaga. The pilots, who had been aloft for 106 hours, were not injured, and scrambled from the sinking plane through the open windshield and swam ashore. They explained that the motor stopped while they were changing plugs.
