Re: US Navy Bailout August 26, 1930
The type and serial number you quote are correct. It seems that Gallery got himself into a spin and was forced to bail out.
Lemly was flying NY-1, A8393. The report states that the aircraft fell into some "black-jacks"---apparently a type of small oak tree, not a small liquorice flavoured chewy sweet!
The ground collision between the two NYs was the next day, the 27th. Nobody was injured.
