LOCKED TOGETHER
TWO AUSTRALIAN PLANES SAFE LANDING EFFECTED SYDNEY, Sept. 30. A Royal Australian Air Force pilot made a successful landing near Cowra with his plane jammed on top of another R.A.A.F. machine. Air Force' officers cannot recall such a feat in the history of aviation. The machines had collided in mid-air 1000 feet up and became locked firmly together. The pilot and observer of the bottom machine and the observer of the top machine baled out and descended safely by parachute. The pilot who eventually landed the two planes still locked together jumped free of the cockpit of the top machine after gliding to a landing.
