Aviation breakfast flight show ends with forced landing
A 1928 Park P-1 biplane suffered a forced landing during a dawn aviation breakfast at the Aviation Country Club Sunday. Pilot W. C. Ludtke of Davenport escaped uninjured after a sputtering engine forced him to land in a potato patch southeast of the airport.

Twenty five of 45 planes remained in the air until the event ended as pilots and spectators enjoyed food and demonstrations, with Taylorcraft Cubs common among aircraft and a Ford tri motor carrying 14 passengers the largest on display. The incident occurred at 9:40 a.m. and did not deter the overall successful event.
