LIEUT. IAX?KLEAlt MEETS DEATH Milt Elliott Also a Victim of Tragedy of tho Ail' lit California. Los Angelos, Cal., Aug. 3.-Lieut. Omer Lockloar, daredevil air pilot, whose stunts of climbing from one plane to another In midair Mvo j thrilled thousands, is dead. His plane crashed from a height of 2,000 feet late Monday night while he was night Hying for tho movies. With him died Lieut. Mik Elliott, his pal and pilot in all Ins stunts. Hundreds of persons, including many movie stars, witnessed the fall. The plane fell in a .straight nose dive like a Haming meteor. Only a few moments before Lockloar had been setting off a great pyrotechnic dis play, shooting rockets and lights high in the air. According to flyers who witnessed Hie tragedy, Lock lea r's plane ap peared under control at all times, lt is believed that both men became blinded by the glare of the fireworks, and thus misjudged their distance, so that the crash came without their realizing their danger. The spectacular drop was filmed by .several cameras, lt was a part of the show for the plano to nose dive with a great display of fire works, and the cameras continued to grind as tho pilot went down to his death. Both bodies were crushed and burned almost beyond recognition. Lockloar was a native of Fort Worth, Texas, while Elliott came from Gads den, Ala. Changing Flanes in Mid-Air. The wonderful feat of changing from one plano to another while the machines wore moving high up in space was ono of the remarkable feats that these two wonder-workers of the air performed. Lieut. Elliott, who met his death with Lieut. Lock lear, was widely known throughout the United States. Ho was regarded by Hying men as no less skilful and daring than his companion. In fact, the Locklear daredevilry to a large extent devolved on tho steadiness and nerve of Lieut. Elliott. Elliott regulated the pace of the planes ns they passed when Locklear changed from one to another, lt was his uncanny sense of speed and dis tance that made the feat possible. Always before Locklear performed the change of planes. Elliott gave an ; exhibition of trick flying that was nothing short of breath-taking. Elliott was a graduate of the Uni versity of Alabama. While in Birm ingham at the Alabama State Fair last fall, his mother, was an inter ested spectator during his flights, and on one occasion went up with j the dashing young officer. Asked if i her experience in nose dives and tail spins frightened her, she replied, j with all the sweet confidence that a mother possesses: "Oh, no. I knew ! who was handling tho plane." lilil? ?ll ''nd Lockh it were under the m?nagement ol h.Hy Plokons, known as an associate with ' 'te I'Wells in ' rte ti ent'M'oriKoj. a>i? ; .'Uh HomOr Cl forgo in ?he nhlonio ' btlo . ?teing c i me.
