FOI'R ARMY AVIATORS OIK M?*inl>eih of Bombing Fleet Fatally Burned In Cranh Near Augusta Augusta, Ga., May Z'J. - Four a via tor a of a United States army squadron en route from San Antonu to l^angley Field, \irgnua, were burned to dcuth bere today when the left motor of their machine went dead five hundred feet above the flying field and the plane fell to the ground in flames. J he dead are: Second Lieut. Dan I-. Voorhees, air corps service, pilot of the plane; Staff Sergt. Clifford Glenn, Fifty-ninth service squadron; Staff Sergt. James lb-ad, Twentieth bombardment squadron; Corpl. Melvin Andrews, Fifty-ninth service squadron. The plane, one of the fourteen Martin bombers, that had participated in the maneuvers at San Antonio, had ascended five hundred feet to wait for the other planes to take off, when the left motor went dead, throwing the plane into a nose dive. It was in flames when the machine struck the ground and comrades were unable to go to the rescue of the occupants. When they finally succeeded in extricating the bodies they were almost incinerated. Several thousand people witnessed the accident. They had gathered early this morning ut the flying field to witness the take-off of the fourteen Martin bombers lhat had stopped here Friday on their way back to Lang-ley Field. At the request of the city government the War Department had permitted the squadron to remain here until today and the officers and men had been entertained by the Augusta people. ( apt. Charles K. Rust, flight com- 1 mander, made an immediate report to the War Department on the accident. Scores rushed toward the plane, but were unable to aid the fliers, who could be seen amidst the flames, but were apparently already dead or stunned. The bodies were identified only by their service identification tags. Six planes which had preceded Yoorhees returned half an hour after the accident, having run into severe storms in South Carolina.
