Collins who became "lost" to the fog and was forced to land near Hillsdale Wednesday morning, was dissembled at the place of landing and brought on trucks to the Nealor farm south of town, Saturday where it is now being assembled by mechanics Al Kramerer, W. N. Stoneman and Russell Gearhart, stationed at the Bellefonte flying field. It is expected the plane will be ready some time this week and when the work is finished pilot Collins will drive it to Cleveland. The plane is a large Curtis "ship" of the D. H. type and is equipped with head lights on the ends of the lower wings. It has been generally understood that nothing but all metal planes were used in the mail air service but this is not true. There is not one metal plane being used at the present time. A very large plane can be noticed by residents of Indiana flying from the Northeast to the Southwest across Indiana. It appears to have a regular course. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
