Aviator Uses Knife
To Save Two Planes
Atlanta, July 6.?Four Atlanta
fliers tonight owed their lives to the
fuct thut one of their number was
quick with his knife when u dangling
rope from a plane in flight became
entangled in the propeller t?f a ship
flying below it.
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.
