Heroic rescue on Southern Cross returns to Mascot
Captain P. G. Taylor crawled onto the wing to transfer oil to a failing starboard engine, enabling Sir Charles Kingsford Smith to steer the crippled plane back to Mascot after a perilous 15 hour 45 minute flight. The crew dumped mail and cargo to lift weight, with the starboard blade splintered, and the plane landed safely at 4 10 p m. Lady Kingsford Smith and others greeted the aviators, who reported 40 gallons of petrol remaining and most mails jettisoned to save lives.
