In President Trippe's opinion, "The Samoan 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...
