Behne Lands in Soft Ground Near Benning When Engine Fails to Work. Forced to make an immediate land- ing when his motor went dead over Benning racetrack yesterday after- noon, Lieut. T. D. Behne, Army Air Service reserve pilot, glided into a swamp near the power plant, and as the plane struck the soft ground it turned up on its nose. Both the pilot and observer, Sergt. M. A. Bernardo, were uninjured. The plane, a De Haviland, was en route from Langley Field, Va., where the officer is stationed, in company with two other ships, for Miller Field, Staten Island. The trio started out from Bolling Field, when trouble de- veloped in Lieut. Behne's motor. He was at a safe altitude, and began a glide for the ground. His companions circled around as the third one went down, powerless to assist. ‘When the heavy ship struck the bog its speed was checked, immediately resulting in it nosing over. The planes in the alr saw the two occupants climb out, wave they were uninjured and re- turning_to Bolling Field reported the forced landing. A guard was sent out to protect the plane from souvenir hunters and ar- angements were being made today to dismantle the craft and return it to the field. U. S.
