Air Collision

The air is a vast ocean in which a plane is but a tiny speck. But sometimes a malign fate seems actually to draw two machines together. Strong winds blew two Navy Vought airplanes into collision at Pensacola, Fla. Captain George F. Hill and Lieutenant Cornelius McFadden, both of the Marine Corps, were instantly killed in the crash. Lieutenant M. A. Richal, pilot of the second plane, is probably fatally injured.
