LIEUT HARRY ENDSLEY LOSES HIS LIFE IN AIR MISHAP SUNDAY
Lieutenant Harry Endsley lost his life in an accident off the Maryland coast Sunday.
This information was contained in a telegram from the War Department to Mrs. Endsley, the former Martha Jennison. Lieut Endsley was a pilot on a bomber, which was on submarine patrol duty, and a telephone message from his commanding officer said the accident occurred when he "bailed out" at 20,000 feet.
Lieutenant Endsley was a recruiting officer at Missoula at one time, but enlisted in the air corps after war was declared. He leaves a little son he has never seen. The baby was born about a month ago.
