Sullivan's Aviation Meet Disappoints Sullivan Crowds
The Sullivan aviation day failed to meet expectations as Billy Evans of Kansas City could not safely rise over the constrained 425 foot field and the event faced heavy criticism of promoter C S Moss. Despite large crowds, the Sunday flight ended with Evans narrowly clearing the park fence before crashing the machine into a wood house and potato patch, sustaining minor injuries and about $100 damage to the aircraft.
