ARMY'S AIR TRIO
Performs Hair-Raising Stunts
As His Tribute To Dead
Army Aviator
TO FLY DAILY THIS WEEK
Mines Field. Los Angeles. Sept. 12.
?Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh?bee
line flier?stunted today.
The Lone Eagle became a member
of the "Three Musketeers" cl the
Army, and pu; 'his; plane through
swirls, loops and rolls while thousands
of spectators at the national atr
races gasped.
It was. a tribute to Lieutenant John
J. Williams, of the ^rmy, who died
Tuesday following a crash while he.
maneuvered as a member of the trio.
A chill ran-through the vast Mining
when Lindbergh and Lieutenants
Weodring and Correiius. his com
panion''. landed their p:?:her as a
navy craft too!: r-.JT from the field.
For moments it appeared a, orash
was inevitable Lindbergh was leader
of the V-shaped flight It was im
possible for him to swervfe either left
fcf fiyiK. r.l .-'.it'll a j.ukl'.h e:?v. jult!
place . his plane directly in the path
of his companions. Hfe shot his plane
upward at sharp angle and Woodring
and Ccrnejius followed him to safety
in the open sky.
The flying ot L-.r.aoergn. who was
always opposed to stunts, in planes,
vis a feature of a busy day at the
races. Two trans-continental races,
an "international race ; from Canada
and a race from Oakland terminated
at the field today.
The man who found Paris without
a deviation from his course, and whs
has devoted his life to advancement
of aviajlon, has frequently voiced op
position to dangerous maneuvers in
the air. because he said th*y tended,
to increase accidents and resulted ?u
harm to the "games."
But it was announced today he had
volunteered to tiecome one of the
? Three Musketeer- to do honor to
t h? deatK
Ehjtrih? 'the remainder of the air
LlnJUtuh will fly da'.;-.??'nil

H. B. Claggett. chief of the Army Atr
Service.
