...truth is that the instrument hasn't a broad enough beam for its height. Since the drumheads are approximately six feet in diameter, the surface area of each is about 28 1-4 square feet, if you remember your plane geometry. When the calfskin is hit a good wallop, this makes quite a radius of vibration; unfortunately the sides are so close together that most of it is dissipated inside the drum, producing a low tone that doesn't carry very far. But the tone is there nevertheless, and the claim that the real boom is produced by a smaller...
...flying normally at 180 m.p.h. Two days later it was found 17 miles off its course-to the left-wrecked on a snowcovered side of a mountain (see cut), both engines and 18 occupants flung far ahead of the ship, Only one passenger tangled in the smashed plane. Time of the crash was fixed at 8:51 p.m. which with the liner's position when found, indicated that the pilot had proceeded in a direct line at full speed to the point where he crashed, that he apparently had perfect confidence he was on his course. His altitude...
Over Alabama, Major Lewis A. Dayton, piloting an army plane, waved his hand. Behind him Private Frank Strozier saw the wave.

...skimming the mountains at 10,000 ft., veteran Pilot Earl Woodgerd reported clouds but "OK." It was 8:19 p. m. with the ship about 140 miles northeast of its next stop, Salt Lake City. Then for twelve hours there was silence. Finally U. A. L. announced that its plane had been sighted, smashed near a saddle of Chalk Mountain in the bleak Uinta Range. When searchers next day reached it by pack horse and foot, they found 16 passengers, two pilots and a stewardess dead in the snow-covered wreckage-worst airplane accident in U. S. history...
