An official report from the division of military pacemmien recounts the death of Lieutenant C. J. Ross of the A. E. F balloon corps in Titusville Pennsylvania. During a special mission a Hun air squadron attacked the balloon, catching fire as Ross supervised artillery defense. His companion delayed leaving the basket to ensure his safety, but Ross’s parachute was burned in flight and he died instantly after the wreckage caused a fatal fall.
