Dream of plane designer Heath dies in crash near Morton Grove
Chicago, Feb. 2. A tiny Heath B-4 plane piloted by Edward W. Heath, 42, plunged from 1500 feet into a field near Morton Grove, ending his quest to popularize affordable aviation. Witnesses said the craft dived and tore free from its wings. Heath had earlier flown it with Abe Gisbrecht and had built a factory. Heath claimed the 320-pound two seater could reach 70 mph and cost under 1000 dollars, part of his 20 years of inventive aviation efforts to place a personal aircraft in every home.
