Cemetery: Among officers killed when the wing on the plane they were aboard tore itself loose from the body of the plane. The biplane crashed nose first in Texas. The victims of the accident volunteered to take the flight so that six officers scheduled to get in some flying time could attend a football game. The men were trapped in the cabin by folds of an open parachute.
