"There were some brushes with danger during Paschal's tour. Flying in formation over Quantico, his wing brushed the tail of another plane after they performed some stunts. The upper wing of his biplane was nearly torn off. The other plane nosedived to earth, its pilot parachuting safely.


Observers watched in horror as Paschal's plane approached the flying field in a series of dangerous curves and leaning at a dangerous angle. A cheer broke out when he righted his machine and brought it to Earth in a perfect arc."

Can anyone identify Mix and Paschal aircraft involved?

Paschal was killed piloting a Pan American Airways Douglas DC-2-118B (NC14273) which crashed in Guatemala 10th October 1936

Many Thanks
