Re: US Marine Accident May 19, 1930

Paul,

The cast was as follows:

OC-2, A-7953, DeLacy/Davey

OC-2, A-7956, Masters/Anderson

Five OC-2s of VO-10M, San Diego, began a formation change at 3,000' from vee to column. DeLacy, number 3, correctly followed the number 2, but Masters, number 4, made the mistake of also heading towards the number 2, instead of trailing DeLacy. This caused the mid-air collision.
