Planes Seek Mail Plane Lost In Alaska
In Alaska, Oct 25, seven search planes scoured Kotzebue Sound for a missing six seat Alaska Airlines mail plane and its pilot Norman Weaver. A land party, amid a snowstorm, found a wreck of another Alaska Airlines craft with three dead aboard Pilot William Henry Kelly and two passengers Earl W Heck and Leeman Edgar Riddle. Storms kept the bodies from being recovered and crews said Weaver’s flight from Candle to Kotzebue likely carried no passengers. The aerial search was led from Nome by army and airline flyers.
