Can anyone please confirm details of the following

9am Leutenant Hale's plane went into a spin at 5,000 feet he continued trying to right the machine until it had fallen half
the distance to the earth. He then took to his parachute
The plane crashed to the north of of the field and was totally
wrecked

The type and serial number are confirmed. It was actually an inverted spin.
