...Seventy miles out from San Pedro the U. S. Fleet, maneuvering last week as a rehearsal for spring war games, ran into a light rain that freshened into a gusty squall. Suddenly, from the droning plane formation above the Flagship Pennsylvania came an unrehearsed crash, flame flashing out across the dark sky. Down near the flagship, Plane 11-P-3, having collided in the wind with Plane 11-P-4, dropped into the sea like a burning meteor. Plane 11-P-4 plummeted into the water by its side...
...Clipper was destroyed by fire of unknown origin . . . incidental to the discharge of fuel." What caused the fire? A few theorists jumped to the "static spark" conclusion advanced as a cause of the Hindenburg's explosion last year at Lakehurst. But most experts accepted a simpler explanation-that flame or sparks, which sometimes trail out 40 ft. behind Clipper exhaust pipes, ignited gasoline vaporizing from the plane's dump valves a dozen feet below...
Just north of Bozeman, Mont, rears the 9,106-ft. bulk of Bridger Peak, near which years ago was started the Flaming Arrow Dude Ranch.

In a twinkling it plunged straight down, bashed its nose into the frozen ground so hard that the plane telescoped like a tin drinking cup. BOOM went the gasoline tank and instantly the wreck...
...Powerful winds rocked and buffeted the light planes as they tried to rise above the 10,000-ft. peaks around them. They attempted to turn back. Then, eyewitnesses said, the three planes seemed to be blown together; there was a violent crash as they momentarily interlocked, a burst of flame. Like two stones the Santa Maria and Pinta fell to earth, crashed side by side in the bottom of a shallow creek. On fire, the Nina struggled a few seconds, crashed a few hundred yards from its companions. All seven occupants of the three planes were instantly killed, those...
...Prince who would some day come and take her away. Instead of a Prince, however, a fierce huntsman comes, sent by the Queen to take Snow White into the forest and kill her. So touching is her innocence, so terrible her scream of panic when she sees the sharp flame of the dagger, that the huntsman, rough as he is, cannot execute his mission; he sets Snow White free...
