...plane with an Aero- marine motor, contradicted this extravagance by buzzing in a winner with an average speed of 102.9 miles an hour; Pilot W. L. Gilmore, in another Morse, was second; one of the 16 did not return. -a Bellanca plane, piloted by Clarence Chamberlain, carrying one Lawrence Buranelli, passenger. It had tipped a telephone wire with a right wing, come crashing down into the backyard of a deserted shanty. Passenger Buranelli, crushed under the unrecognizable grim huddle of the motor, was killed. Pilot Chamberlain was injured...
