He just tipped her over on one wing in a vertical bank and the tlames shot up between the wings and the gas burned out before It set fire to the fuselage or struts. .The cadet was sitting In the front cockpit and got his face and hair sing-ed, but they still had 2000 feet alti-tude when the gas burned out, and landed O.
