The ambulance crew that ! rushed to the spot expecting to pick ! up the body of Lieut. Champion, found him examining the wrecked Engine of his plane. The pilot believes that one 'or two cylinder heads of the engine were blown off when he first noticed vibrations in the engine at the top of his climb and that other missing sylin- , der heads, connecting rods and pistons, some of which were picked up at Hoo ver field, more than a mile away, were lost during the dive when his oxygen supply was cut off. Lieut. Champion explained after landing that he could have saved himself from death or grave injury in a bad crash by resort ing to his parachute, but. by so doing, I would have destroyed the barographs ‘and thus lose credit for haring estab- • lished a new world’s altitude record. As it was, one or two barographs carried in the plane were destroyed by the flying parts of the engigne, which •also endangered the pilot. After a hurried examination of the remaining barographs at the Bureau of Stan dards, it was stated that an altitude of between 37,000 and 38,000 feet was indicated, which falls short of the ! world mark of 40320 feet. This state- ; ment was entirely unofficial, however, and thirty-six hours will he required to calibrate the instrument. Should calculations, either because of the damage to the barographs or for any other reason fail to Champion’s claim that his showed an altitude of 47,000 feetw he necessarily will never receive official credit for a new world’s altitude mark Fellow pilots at the naval air sta |tion and at Boling field, which adjoins, marveled at what they rnwidered the miraculous escape of Lieut.
