TAYLOR CUB PLANE BADLY DAMAGED
Clayton Bohner, 30, of Dornsife, narrowly escaped serious injury in an airplane crash when the Taylor Cub plane he was using crashed from an altitude of 100 feet near the Millersburg Airport.
Bohner, using the plane of Henry Latsha, Dornsife garage owner, is a mechanic in the employ of Latsha. He had made a flight to Millersburg and was taking off to return when the plane engine failed to function properly, necessitating an emergency landing. The engine suddenly stalled and the plane went down with a resounding crash in a field. A crowd rushed to the scene of crash to find Bohner had escaped injuries although the plane was badly damaged.
The pilot was removed to his home by automobile to recover from shock while the owner of the plane went to the scene to direct removal of the damage plane and arrange for repairs.
