Magic Carpet. The Ryan monoplane Magic Carpet, flying through wind and rain over Chicago, disappeared into a thundercloud, tumbled out of it in a crazy spin, crashed through the top of a steel gas tank, plunged into 40 ft. of water at the bottom, killed Pilot Orville Suchy and two joyride girl passengers. European Derby. Pilot Fritz Morzik of Germany, who last year won the International Around-Europe Reliability Tour for light planes, was last week declared winner of this year's 4,750-mi. derby...
