Two Kodiak Planes
Come Croppers
Two small planes were in
volved in accidents at Kodiak re
cently. There was neither loss of
life nor injury in either incident,
r but severe damage resulted to
both planes. In the first mishap,
a light plane operated by the
Chiniak Air Service stubbed a
float on a marking buoy on a
take-off. The plane overturned
and sank in a matter of minutes.
Its two occupants were saved by
the quick thinking of onlookers
on the shore, who manned a
boat and rushed to the scene.
In the second accident, a small
plane made a forced landing in
heavy swells on Mill Bay. The
plane was battered by waves and
rocks for an hour and a half, be
fore its passengers reached shore.
They had been flying at a low
altitude to avoid a heavy over
cast, when the ship’s motor quit.
