Seasick in Clouds Nearly Kill Capt Beck in 1400 Foot Plunge
Capt Paul Wy Beck of the U S Army piloted a racing biplane from College Park toward Annapolis when a dense cloud bank enveloped him. He plunged about 700 feet through darkness into sunlight, narrowly missing a barbed wire fence and a precipice before a risky landing in Floward County Maryland. He escaped unharmed and returned to Washington, praising the perilous flight as the toughest of his career. He credited a carburetor issue for the mishap and noted the experience taught him more about aviation than any previous trip.
