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.
