In 1928, Ed was head of the beach crew at the Fort Hamilton It is far better to fail in a good police reservation, and that job was just a shade more ticklish cause than to succeed in a bad cop itself, for the beach crew's principal doty was seeing were safely landed on the skidway, and that usually Involved a lot of gymnastics with a speeding sky buggy. Ed Was Acting as a Pivot. It worked out like this. The skidway was a sort of a wooden ramp, running from the top of the sea wall down to the water. The tides ran pretty strong out at the end of that skidway, and the planes coming toward it usually hit the water about a hundred yards away and taxied to it. Because of the tide, though, the planes had to come up at right angles to the ramp. And thats where Ed came in. He stood out at the end of the ramp and, as the planes came up he caught them by one wing and held fast, turning himself into a sort of a pivot on which those seaplanes could make a sharp turn. It was no easy job, swinging a moving plane around while it was coming out of the water. But there was one guy who must have thought Ed could pick em out of the air as a magician picks cards. It all happened this way and it was another cop who started the whole business. There was a flyer out at that field who went by the name of Smoky Joe, and he was a wild man with a plane if there ever was that planes 0 man never ceases to praise his maker.

Well, one day, Smoky Joe drove up at the field in a car, and I guess he must have been just as wiki with a car as he was with an air buggy. He was burning up the road and be had a motorcycle cop tailing right along behind. Smoky Joe stopped at the air station and the cop started to write out a ticket good for a ringside seat at court the next morning. Smoky Joe was pretty good at talking as well as driving planes and cars. Before he got through he had the cop convinced that he ought to take a plane ride with him. Then Smoky proceeded to give that cop the scare of his life. ' Smoky Was Giving the Cop a Thrill. Lute n to the Voice of Firestone featuring Richard 1 . The Plane Roared Right at WNU Service. evenings over Nationwide Them. Some days when the tide was rough, planes came in at a pretty fast clip. That didnt usually bother us because we had learned to catch the planes while they were still going at fairly high speeds through the water. But it did seem as if Smoky was giving her the gun a little harder than usual for a man who was expecting to land. And then, when the plane was a hundred yards away, and still abruptly. It headed thirty or forty feet up in the air, ofit swerved wall where the skidway the for that and part wall the for was built the part where Ed and Chip were standing! "It was just a matter of a couple seconds away, says Ed, and roaring straight toward us. We were right smack in its path and it looked as if it would hit the skidway right on top of us. There was no sense in in trying to get ducking. We couldnt duck far enough. And no sense out of the way for we didnt have time. She was 50 feet away and still coming on with a terrifying roar when suddenly the right wing pontoon hit the water. With the pontoon acting as a pivot, the plane swung around! As the plane swung, the right wing, swinging with it, brushed past the water, says Eds nose. Another fraction of a second lateroff.in hitting The of ther crash our both force heads cut have would it Ed and blew the wing off the struts and the fuselage broke in half. And all that in happened to the cop and Smoky was a shaking up and ducking the bay. Ed says that cop got back on shore swearing he was never going to set a foot off land again. But the way Ed has it figured out, youre safer there at the end of the,skidway. in the plane than standing down -, with Margaret Speaks, Monday N. B. C. Red Network Crooks says Ed, and Smoky went up a thousand They piled into an feet or so and went through everything in the book. After almost taking the plane and the cop apart he started down again and, for a last big thrill, .decided to scrape along the top of the sea wall. That was a trick a lot of the fliers used to do out of sheer deviltry, especially on Sunday when there was a crowd of people standing along the sea wall. Theyd nose down out of the sky and zoom along the wall with one wing pontoon hanging a few feet over the wall and the other a few feet over the water. Ed says that many a time they had come so close to the ground that the beach crew had to duck for safety, and thats what Smoky was trying to do this time. Eds brother Chip was working with him dowp on the runway, and he and Ed watched Smokys plane come down, y Neither one of us, Ed says, knew what was on Smokys mind, and noting the fact that he was 50 feet above the water some 400 yards up the bay, we thought he was planning to come in. I stood on the end of the runway and Chip stood in the middle, both of us in readiness to land the plane.
