Revere, Massachusetts – May 29, 1930
On May 29, 1930, a biplane with three people aboard took off from Revere for a sight-seeing flight. Besides the 30-year-old pilot, those aboard included a husband and wife from nearby Lynn, Massachusetts. This was their first airplane flight.
As the aircraft was rising into the air it suddenly lost power and crash-landed from an altitude of 500 feet. The couple was rushed to Chelsea Memorial Hospital with multiple, but non-life threatening, injuries. The pilot was not injured, and despite the accident, took off in another plane a short while later with different passengers.
