Survivor Telia Graphic Story of De scent From Sky Pilot's Body Disables Steering Gear in Sudden Squall. ANNAPOLIS, Std., June 20. The Navy added its first victim to the death roll of the air today, when Ensign William M. Billlngsley was hurled from a dis abled biplane 1600 feet in the sir and fell into the depths of Chesapeake bay. Lieutenant John A. Towers, chief of the Navy aviators, clung to the hurling wreck that followed his comrades's course from sky to water and eicaped death almost miracuiousli'. Ensign Billlngsley, In a biplane that had been converted into a hydroplane by the addition of pontoons, with Lieu tenant Towers as a passenger, left the aviation grounds at the Naval Academy here this morning to fly to Claiborne, 18 miles across the bav. About 10 miles down the bay a gust oi wina strucn the fragile aeroplan'e. Ensign Billlngsley was thrown across the steering gear, which was disabled. The front planes of the craft fell, and it dropped like a dead bird for the water, 1000 feet below. Body Lost In Bay. As it dropped the pilot was cata pulted out. His body, turning In the air, out-speeded the disabled machine toward the water. Deep into the bay the body sank, and up to a late hour tonight it had not been recovered, AVhen the aeroplane started on its dive for the bay. Lieutenant Towers clung desperately to one of the struts between the plans. Although at times his body swung clear of the rapidly falling airship, he maintained his hold with hand and arm almost wrenched apart. After falling about 900 feet the bi- Flane turned a complete somersault and or a moment the force of the fall was broken. Striking the bay, it carried Lieutenant Towers beneath the water, but he rose to the surface almost im mediately. Survivor Suffers Agony. . Suffering excruciating agony, he feared he would lose consciousness be fore he could be rescued and tearing loose the lashing of one of the planes he bound himself fast to a pontoon. Within a few minutes, however, ha was taken off by B. L. Bronaon and S. Keller, who were watching the aero plane's movements from a motor boat hovering on the bay by the Navy avia tors for use in such accidents. At the Naval Hospital Lieutenant Towers, almost in a state of nervous collapse, his entire body trembling and his head wagging plteously,-told the tragle story of his fall from the sky. "Just before the accident." he said "1 looked at the altitude dial . and 11 showed that we were running at a height of about 1625 feet. Just then a gust of find struck the aeroplane un derneath the rear planes and the ma chine lurched violently and took an un certain dive forward. This threw Bil llngsley across the steering gear and the lateral rudder planes went out of business, with another forward plunge the biplane dropped at express speed. "It all happened in a minute. Companion's Fall Seen. "Billingsley went out of hl3 seat and clear of the planes. When the ship started to fall, I had one hand around the upright between the planes and I I n c L" d H ,j, tn&..A , . . ... voo. x n ii k w mat was my only hope. I was torn loose from th ui neia on to tne upright. I swung clear of the planes and the gearing. The strain on my arms and ringers was awful, but I clenched my teeth and held on. I tried to kick the steering gear back into 'working order but I could not make it go. "I looked down and saw Billingsley turning over and over in the air." The trembling of the officer Inter rupted his story for a moment, but he went on immediately: "When the aeroplane had dropped about 900 feet the front planes went down and under until the ship liad turned a complete "somersault. When it was half way over it steadied for a minute and the force of the fall was broken a little, but It gathered mo mentum again and when it hit the water there was a terrific crash. But I kept clear of the engine and the planes and managed to come to the sur face safely." Injuries Are Serious. An examination of Lieutenant Towers tonight developed the fact that he was probably more seriously injured than had been believed. It was, discov ered that in addition to Internal in juries he sustained a broken rib and that his body from head to foot was a mass of bl-uises from his terrific im pact with the water. A more thorough examination will be made tomorrow if the lieutenant's condition permits. THe tug Standlsh was sent down the bay to bring in the wreck of the aero plane and the torpedo boat Stringham with all the other available craft, were sent out to search for the body of Kn sign Billingsley. The death of Ensign Billingsley makes a total of nine fatalities in the Government service since the United States began experiments with heavier than air machines at Fort Myer Va in 1908. His death is the first In the aviation corps of the Navy. Billlngs ley was born in Mississippi Jrt 1887 graduated from the Naval Academy in 1908. and was attached to the aviation corps in that year.
