Eddie Schneider Averts Chicago Airplane Crash. Eddie Schneider, young Jersey City flier, by clever handling of his light biplane [sic] averted what might have been a serious accident at the National Air Races at Chicago, yesterday. According to officials of the Curtiss-Reynolds Airport, Schneider took his plane into a dive for the ground to avoid a collision with a 20-passenger Burnelli transport plane and then pulled clear of the grandstand after the 40-foot left wing of the huge Burnelli had scraped the wing of his plane, Schneider and Don Mockler, of the Richfield Oil Corporation, were taking off for the balloon races at Cleveland and were just over the south grandstand when Mockler saw the crowd scattering below them. As a result of the "wing-scraping," Vincent Burnelli, airplane inventor, has been grounded for the duration of the meet, and the Department of Commerce has ordered his pilot not to fly for three months.
