Plane Sets 661 MPH Record Over Wright Field
Dayton reports a civilian test pilot Hob Fausel of Curtiss Wright in Buffalo flew a Curtiss P 406 at Wright Field on April 7 1940 to a record 661 miles per hour in a diving test. The feat surpasses the previous unofficial mark by Ray McDonough and demonstrates U S aviation progress and the quality of military civil flight testing. A fatal crash near Michigan City on U S 20 killed one bus driver and injured 25 others.
