Emmett had just returned from a World War II mission in Asia when he died in a plane crash near West Palm Beach Florida. The plane had a power stall immediately after take-off at 300 feet, then fell off on left wing, and vertical dive out of control, to ground where gas tanks exploded, and airplane burned.
