Brooks Field Officers Dead In Airship Disaster
The Brooks Field personnel including Major Thornell and Lieutenants Hine and Burt were aboard the airship R omanacresh when it crashed. Major Thornell had commanded Brooks Field for years and was ordered to Italy to bring the airship back. Hine recently left Brooks Field and Burt had served there in 1909. The incident affects plans for the giant Hentax project at Brooks Field and may alter the Zodiac airship’s stationing, with the Zodiac possibly reassigned to Langley Field.
