Plane Wrecked on Adirondack Peak in New York
A Boston to Cleveland airliner wrecked on a wild Adirondack peak near Gloversville. Four men snowbound were unreachable despite radio beams from Boston to Montreal. A blind flying ship and state crews searched the area as conditions forced ground rescues. The pilots and two co pilots survived along with a federal education expert passenger. An earlier report placed the plane near Rockwood, Fulton county, but officials later called that erroneous. Weather delayed air searches with two feet six inches of snow.
