Flyers Hunt For Missing Plane
Barrie, co pilot of a tri motor plane, was forced down during a storm on a bleak mesa near Gallup New Mexico October 29 1929. He and the late James E Doles cared for five passengers during a snowstorm, then flew to Albuquerque after hope for their safety had faded. Fire raises false hopes as a sheepherder’s blaze on Wasatch slopes spurred belief that crash survivors signaled. Pilot James Roe near Newark hovered for a radio update saying there’s still a chance. A California executive Balzer said he no longer loves the stewardess, noting marriage would have saved her from danger. The blonde chief stewardess left to wed Balzer then married neither, returning west to work.
