McCurdy Halfway to Havana Fails When Oil Runs Out
Aviator McCurdy in a Curtiss biplane from Key West to Havana ran short of lubricating oil 10 miles from the Cuban coast. He landed on the water near Sand Key, was picked up by the destroyer Paulding, and brought to Havana with the aircraft intact. Navy boats staged the watch as the flight proceeded amid cheering crowds and a strong start before the engine shortage ended the attempt for a Havana post prize of 10000 dollars.
