Crashes and Accidents: 17-29
I am in the process of documenting every airplane crash and accident that occurred
at Mitchel Field/Mitchel AFB.
Researching and cross-referencing crash records and documents is a time consuming and tedious process.
I hope to include details and photos.
Please be patient and check back often for updates.
Thank you. Paul Martin, webmaster.

"CAMP MILLS, HEMPSTEAD, L. I., May 8. - Cadet John D. Ervin, of West Point, Miss., was instantly killed and two other aviators were injured when two airplanes collided at Hempstead Plains today. Cadet R. E. Jeremy, who was in the machine with Ervin, was so seriously injured that he can only live a few hours. His home is at Emporia, Kansas. Cadet J. R. Vidmer, driver of the other airplane, had his left leg broken, and was otherwise injured. The two machines collided at high speed and fell two hundred feet.
The Aviation Archaeology database shows Curtiss JN-4A or JN-4D, SC-1320, with the pilot listed as both Julian D. Vidmer and as J. W. Widmer, colliding with Curtiss JN-4A or JN-4D, SC-1329, flown by John B. Ervin, who is described as killed, seven miles from Mineola, New York. Joe Baugher shows 1320 and 1329 as delivered as JN-4As then converted to JN-4Ds.

"NEW YORK, July 8. - Flight Sergeant Gino Gianfelce, [sic] one of Italy's most famous aviators, instructor of Resnati [,] D'Annunzio, and other well-known airmen of Italy, is dead here today, the result of a nose dive he attempted while flying in a fast scout machine slightly more than 300 feet above the ground – a trick he often had warned his pupils against."[215][216] The Aviation Archaeology database lists Gino Gianfelce [sic] crashing at the Signal Corps Aviation School at Hazelhurst Field, Mineola, New York, on 7 July in an unidentified airframe after experiencing a stall/spin condition.[155] The Air Service Journal carries this on 11 July: "Sgt. Gianfelice Gino, [sic] R. I. F. C. att. A. S. S. C. - Sergt. Gianfelice Gino, [sic] Royal Italian Flying Corps, att A. S. S. C., who was training American aviators to fly Caproni machines, dived to death at Hazelhurst Field July 7. Sergeant Gino was considered one of the best pilots of the Italian Flying Corps and had instructed practically all the noted Italian pilots and had made several world's records. He had just successfully tested an American built Caproni and carried Major General Kenly, Chief of Military Aeronautics, as one of the passengers. After landing he took up a S. V. A. scout to give an exhibition of acrobatics close to the ground and after half an hour misjudged his distance from the ground when going into a nose-dive and was unable to straighten out before striking the ground." The pilot's name is correctly Gian Felice Gino (9 May 1883 – 7 July 1918).

Martin GMT (Glenn Martin Transatlantic), USAAS 62949, (as identified in a 1972 article in Wings magazine) loses power on one of two Liberty engines while en route to Chanute Field, Illinois, is unable to stay aloft on one only, crashes. Pilot Maj. Bradley escapes injury, but Lt. Stanley Smith is fatally injured. Walt Boynes's account in Wings magazine gives the accident date as 5 March.[379] A period report from the Associated Press states, however,: "NEW YORK, March 4. - Lieut. Stanley Smith, army air service, was killed and Maj. Follett Bradley was probably fatally injured when a giant Martin bomer [sic] in which they had just left Mitchell Field [sic] for Chanute Field, Rantoul, Ills. [sic], was forced down in Brooklyn. Four student mechanics, privates, who also were in the biplane escaped with only slight injuries owing to the skillful manner in which Major Bradley piloted the big bomer [sic] to earth from 5,000 feet. The two officers were pinned under a wing of the machine, which, brought to earth on wheels, overturned when it struck a hillock. The mishap was due to a broken controlling rod." The Aviation Archeology site report matches the accident date, lists the pilot as Major Follett Bradley, Sr., identifies the Martin as AS-62951, and gives the crash site as Miller Street and Heigeman Avenue, Brooklyn, N.Y. Joe Baugher's serial number website adds that the aircraft had been modified to a Martin GMC with a 37-mm cannon in the nose, and that it carried McCook Field project number P110.
