Inking the air toduy to conduct an oxpei intent in repairing the landing gear of aircraft in flight. Heeler Bi? vins and Bonnie Howe climbed to f1' altitude of 2,1)00 feet and maneuvered for position below a second ph?n?, flown by Mackay Solenbcrger end w, (;. Striplin. Howe climbed out on the lower ving of the under ship and removed u wheel, while Stripljn in the ship above began lowering away another wh?H'l from the end of a rope. Just as Howe reuched out to grasp the -dangling vheol, the force of the wind whipped the rope into the pro- ' peller of the lower ship. Both blades were torn off, and the rope, caught in the propeller shaft, began to wind up much in Uje fashion of a windlass, threatening to draw the two ships into a fatal collision. Striplin instantly drew his knife, reached down and slashed the rope free. The two ships careened away, and Blevins put his crippled ship into a powerless glide. Rowe quickly re? ; covered the original wheel, and, hanging from a wing strut, he worked desperately to replace it. He clamped the wheel in place just a few feet above the ground, and, lucking time to climb back into his cockpit, ho j clung to the landing gear as BJevins brought the plane to a perfect landing in a cotton field. \ Solenbcrger and Striplin landed safely in a field a short distance awav. Bonnie Rowe in the dispatch above related will be remembered, in Camden as the man who made the parachute jump at the Mable Cody Flying Circus held at Woodward Field several months ago.
