There were eight accidents and three j aeroplanes were smashed, and M. i Martinet was badly injured. Experts, discussing Watcher's death insist upon the danger of aercnlaning in a strong wind. This possesses a peculiar fascination for aviators, but it overstrains toe frames. BERLIN, July 5. Count Zeppelin states the Zeppelin VII. was caught in an upward whirl of wind, causing the subsequent fall.
