The balance of this affidavit which relates to how my husband was killed, is of course made upon information and belief, because I was not present at the time, and the sources of my information, and the grounds of my belief, are the original report of the Civil Aeronautics Board dated August 13, 1941, file No. 4326-40, docket No. S. A. 31, the original of which I append to this affidavit, as well as statements made to me and signed by George P. Hammer, Civil Aeronautics Authority instructor for Jack Deane Flying School, William J. Minnett, 1415 Mott Avenue, Far Rockaway, and Richard Swanson, of 724 East Twenty-seventh Street, Brooklyn, N. Y., all of whom I am informed and believe, were witnesses at the Civil Aeronautics Authority hearing. ...I likewise attach as exhibit E, the signed statement of Captain Minnett, who, as I stated, I believe was a witness as was Mr. Hammer at the Board's inquiry.
