27] SIX DEAD IN ZRISH WRECK PLANE CRASH Aerial Expresses Between London and Paris Come Together in Dense Fog and All Occupants Are Killed PARIS, April 7.—(By The Associated Press. —Thi i and London aerial expresses collided in mid-air oe a ears over the village of Thieulloy, 70 miles north of Pak The pilots of both airplanes, three passengers and one were killed in wreckage mechanic, was carrying three gers. It left Lebourdet, in the en- virons of Paris at noon for London. ‘The British airplane, which left Croydon ‘2 the London area, this morning, carrying mail was manned only by a pilot. ‘The British machine, piloted by Avi ater Duke, had been‘!n use only three days on the express route. It belonged to a new company operating a Paris. London service. ‘The accident occurred during a fog, the pilots seeing each other too late to avold a collision. Five passengers in the machines were dead when inhabitants of the vil- Jage of Thieulloy arrived on the scene shortly after the crash, and the sixth victim was dying. ‘The areal express service between London and Paris was started in the spring of 1919 and has come to be regarded as one of the dependable means of transportation between the two capitals. At first only patronized by travelers of an adventurerous turn mind, it has developed within the ‘ast two years into a steady daily teute. The trip is made in a little nore than two hours. Prominent officials frequently have availed themselves of the air route to attend hastily called conferences in either Paris or London. During the peace conference Bonar Law of the British delegates made hurried trips back to London to attend to routine official business often returning the game day. King Albert and Queen Elizabeth of Belgium also have been passengers. ‘These luxurious air pullmans carry ten or twelve persons in large com- fortable chairs. Fach seat has a sep- arte port hole through which the pas- senger can view the landscape. ‘The aerial fear has decreased stead- ily since large numbers of passengers have taken to this form of travel, and round trip tickets cost about $60. Only once hefore today’s collision has there been a fatal accident in this service. This occurred in December, 1920, when a big air liner, just as it was leaving Cricklewood, near ‘Lon- don, fouled a tree and crashed to the ground in flames, killing the pilot, his mechanician, and two passengers. —_—— BUILDING TRADES RENEW mechanic that fell flaming to the und.
