Show Big Seaplane Forced Down Astoria, Ore. The seaplane PB-1, enroute from San Francisco to Seattle was delayed here by engine trouble. The giant Boeing plane, which originally orig-inally was designed to fly to Hawaii from San Francisco, was forced down at Ilwaco, Wash., a litle more than two hours after leaving Coos. bay. The plane was towed here later. Trouble with the forward engine caused the landing. Lieutenant Commander J. H. Strong sent to San Francisco for a complete new motor. The PB-1 is being returned to the factory at Seattle Se-attle for repairs. Commander Strong hopes for a chance to attempt the Hawaiian flight early next year. |
