MARTIAL LAW
R.A.F. PILOT NEAR ALHAMBRA
DEATH IN RECORD BREAKING FLIGHT
NEARLY SUFFOCATES WHEN CRUISING 10 MILES HIGH
London, Sept. 29.
How he had probably saved his life by slashing open his flying suit with a knife when he was rapidly becoming weak and suffocating, was the experience described by Squadron Leader F. R. D. Swain of the R.A.F., after he had landed with a new altitude record won for Britain. He flew nine and a half miles high.
The airman said he had climbed in a series of wide circles until he had only about three-quarters of an hour of petrol left and was at an altitude of 46,000 feet.
Looking down the light was almost dazzling, but looking up the sky was the deepest blue, almost black. Below him he could see the whole of the English coast- line from Margate to Land's End. He had the impression England was a most minute country.
Then the pressure sult he
Was wearing began chusing him discom-
fort and he had difficulty moving his
atms and legs, with slight symptoms of camp in his right arm. But there was no dimculty in breathing.
When he had reached 61,000 feet! he found he could not higher and decided to call it
day. shut off his motor and began to lide. The window glass in his helmet was then hazed and the win dowa of the cabin were also frosted so that he was unable to see any- thing, or even to read his compass.
