Details of Fire
Which Burns 36
Plaee Star Plane
Details of the fire which com
pletely destroyed the 3fi-place
Star Air Lines plane just b fore
taking off from Tat-,la Lake.
Canada. June 1, were brought to
Juneau bv Capt. Chet Brown,
pilot of the plane.
One motor had been started
for the take-ofT for the flight to
Juneau when it .backfired and
the second motor caught fire,
Capt. Brown said. The flames
spread quickly to the wings and
gas tanks, and while the crew
managed to keep it within con
trol for nearly five minutes, it
could not be extinguished and
the plane was completely de
stroyed. All four of the crew
escaped unscathed and managed
to save much of their equipment,
though log books were burned
I with the plane.
Aboard the large Consolidated
Commodore flying boat were Pilot
Brown, First officer Jack Gris
som. and flight mechanics Don
Hill and Art Dewey.
Brown picked up the big fly
ing boat that was to be on the!
run from Anchorage to Jimeau,
in New Jersey and took off May
22 from Port Washington, Long
I-land, for the flight to Alaska.
It was expect'd to arrive in Ju’
ncau last weekend on nearly the
last leg of the trip.
Many stops were made by the .
big ship on its northward course
including the Great Lakes, Syra
cuse, Cleveland. Ctiicago, Du
luth, Fort Frances Canada, Lac|
Da Bonnet, Edmonton, Fort St.
John and Takla Lake. It was at
the last stop that the freak acci-1
dent occurred that demolished
the plane.
Great Dane Pup Saved
Saved, with the crew and part
of the equipment, was a great
dane puppy that Brown had purl
chased in New York to bring
home to his wife and young
son, who have been in Juneau)
awaiting for the arrival of the
plane. While the pup’s official
name is still unknown to the
Browns as its pedigree papers
were sent direct to Anchorage,;
it was christened Commodore by
the crew on the trip.
Arrive By Land, Sea, Air
Nearly every mode of travel j
j was used by Brown and his crew
in reaching Juneau from Takla
Lake, including plane, rail and
ship. Following the destruction
of the plane they were able to
contact Canadian Pacific Air
ways through the Hudson Bay
post at the lake and a Junkers
plane, piloted by one of the
famous Canadian bush pilots was
sent to the rescue the party.
They travelled in it to VanderofT,
there boarded the train to Prince)
Rupert. From Prince Rupert to
Ketchikan the party travelled by
Canadian National steamer!
Prince Rupert and at Ketchikan '
they took the Ellis Air Trans
port plane to Juneau.
Mr. Grissom, First Officer, is
from Houston, Texas, and in ad
dition to the adventures of the
trip, is seeing mountains for the
first time since visiting Califor
nia when a small boy. Hill and
Dewey, both from Syracuse, are
also making their first trip to the
Territory.

inducted into our every-day wardrobe.
