Next day, mechanics achieved a flurry of headlines by discovering "a potential disaster threat" in faulty lubrication of the propeller bearings. That fixed Flyer Amelia climbed aboard with two of her crew to take off for the 1,940 mi. hop to Howland Island. Down the ong concrete runway of Luke Field the ship shot at 60 m.p.h. Suddenly the left tire blew out. Lurching, the plane rumpled its landing gear, careened 1,000 ft.. on its bottom...
