The remaining jive ships are scattered from Montana to Michigan. In contrast to the truly arctic con- ditions found on the early part of the trip, where blizzard-like snowstorms menaced the planes and 48 below temperatures froze their motors, the last leg of the flight was made in fair weather and under clear skies.

The 16 met a horrible death late yesterday at Oceanside when the transport faltered down out of the sky, plowed @ big gash in the earth, burst into flames and became a gaso- line-fed funeral pyre. None of the eight women and eight men aboard the transport lived to tell the story and all but three were | burned beyond recognition. ‘Witnesses, including a Western Ex- press pilot who saw the big liner take its human cargo to a fiery doom, agreed the ill-fated craft had been fighting against a thick fog which forced aerial traffic beneath a dan- gerously low 200-foot ceiling.

Spectators could but stand by. powerless, knowing that all the Plane’s occupants were beyond the reach of human aid. The great plane apparently snagging the hillside with a wingtip, tore through the soft soil many yards, breaking wide open the f¥ jeabin, seething in flames from burst fuel tanks, it piled into a crumpled mass that spared not a single life.
