The Scranton Republican › 27 September 1929 › Page 14 ...
FLIERS JUMP TO SAFETY . NEWPORT NEWS NEWPORT NEWS, Va.. Sept. 26 m. Dropping 4000 feet in parachutes, Lieut. James W. Baker (sic), pilot, and Aviation Mechanic's Mate J. F. Benecke, of the Hampton Roads naval air station near Norfolk, escaped unhurt tonight when their observation plane fell into the edge 'of the Hampton Roads near here. Lieut. James W. Baker is actually I believe Lt (JG) James Ellis Baker (1889 to 1984) later Capt. During WW2 he commanded the Oakland Naval Air Station Aviation Mechanic's Mate is Joseph "Joe" Freeman Benecke (1904 to 1992) I have seen other dates quoted for this incident: September 20/26/27, 1929 but believe 26th Sept 1929 to be correct Again, please can anyone supply the type and serial of the aircraft involved? Thanks Paul
