While coming in to land this morning after a practice flight Lieut. J. P. ZAHN found that one of the main wheel tyres had come adrift as he touched down. He succeeded in keeping the aircraft, Baltimore 862, on an even keel until it had lost all speed causing a minimum of damage when the aircraft finally dipped its wing. The aircraft was rendered "Cat. II" but both Lieut. ZAHN and his passenger, Lieut. HOTCHKISS, in the Observer's cockpit, were unhurt.
Further cases of Malaria among squadron personnel were reported and there was also one case of blackwater fever, the victim being one of the details who had flown up from the Union recently.
