Did These Men Die In Pacific Seaplane Crash
Commander and chief officers of the huge navy seaplane PN-9 No I fell Tuesday in the Pacific while attempting the San Francisco to Hawaii flight. Naval men say if the plane was not damaged on landing it should be afloat, drifting with the wind. Search reports say beyond rain squalls the weather is favorable. The airmen had supplies to endure some time, but the vast Pacific may have swallowed them. Drift analysis is uncertain, and it could be months before sighting again if it drifts off course.
