Aerial Gunfire Tests Endangered Officer at Fort Tilden
New York reports that 17 hits were logged on flying tar gets from 44 shots in a mimic anti aircraft exercise. Lt F H Morrow escaped death when his parachute deployed during bursts over the fort as Lt Percy Warner and plane crew restrained him. The towed target bore four shrapnel holes while three land batteries fired 92 rounds. A separate daytime run yielded nine hits on another target before a wire clipped and brought it down. General Summerall framed the tests as weapon development, not a rivalry between services.
