Boston Airport – July 3, 1929
On July 3, 1929, a Curtiss O-1B army observation aircraft, (Ser. No. 27-285), took off from Mitchell Field, Long Island New York, bound for Boston. As the aircraft was landing at Boston Airport a gusty cross-wind caught the left side of the aircraft and flipped it so that the plane crashed on its left wing and nose. Neither the pilot, 2nd Lt. T. R. Starratt, or his passenger, 1st Lt. S. G. Frierson, were injured.
