Re: USMC Reserve Collision San Diego Oct 21 1930
Evening Paul,
The first accident involved Curtiss OC-2, A-7959, of the West Coast Expeditionary Force, San Diego. The engine caught fire after oil pressure had been lost. As you suggest, the aircraft in the second accident was SF-1, 9471, assigned to NRAB Seattle. It did not explode in mid-air, but crashed into the sea 2mi off Port Townsend Light. The rsm's parachute did open but it is believed that he struck the tail on the way out, probably as a result of him opening the 'chute before he had cleared the aircraft.
