US Navy Bailout October, 21, 1931

Chief Aviation Pilot Stanley John Jaros US Navy San Diego California

I believe this may be

311021 Boeing F3B-1 A-7680 SAN DIEGO CA

But would like confirmation please

"The roster of the Caterpillar Club at this writing shows 411 names, the
latest member to be initiated being S.J. Jaros, Chief Airplane Pilot, U.S.Navy,
who was forced to take to his chute when, during dive bombing practice, the
fabric stripped off the wings."

Jaros died less than 2 years later. This is in Patrol Plane Number "1-P-11" Type unknown from VO-3B -



Death: 14 Jul 1933

July 15, 1933
Journal Gazette from Mattoon, Illinois • Page 4

The details of the first event are confirmed.

As regards the July 1933 incident, the aircraft involved was Keystone PK-1, A-8511, of VP-1F, flying off Kaena Pt. Oahu. Jaros, flying as co-pilot, was in the left hand seat, but not strapped in. When a patch of rough air was encountered during a right turn the port wing dropped suddenly and Jaros was thrown out of his seat into the propeller.
