Seaplane Crash Kills Cadet Fliers Near Newport News
A seaplane from Hampton Roads naval air station carrying cadet fliers Wilbur Kenison and Richard W. Kennison fell in Hampton Roads near Fort Wool. The craft struck water after takeoff, vanished, and rescuers found no sign the men escaped their seat restraints. Eyewitnesses said a fishing stake may have torn the pontoon on liftoff. Kennison, from Boston, and Hinghas from New York had been touring the naval base. Kennison, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduate, enlisted last year and planned for a naval aviation commission.
