Plane Lost Last Night Near McGirr Air Mail Field
An air mail pilot from National Air Transport Company landed safely at McGirr field after a night of low clouds and fog. Matechta departed Chicago at nine, circled Aurora and DeKalb, then found McGirr shortly before 11 pm, left again at four this morning, and reported temporary disorientation due to dense cloud cover. Local residents watched the low-flying plane, lights visible through the fog, with several near-landing attempts near DeKalb. The new route and weather delays caused the eventual safe touchdown with no engine trouble noted.
