"Investigation into the plane crash which yesterday took the lives of Eddie Schneider, flying soldier of fortune, and a student passenger was launched today at Floyd Bennett Field. Schneider's plane crashed into the waters of Deep Creek, near the field, but the navy plane with which it collided pulled out of a spin and landed safely. The third accident in two weeks in which a navy plane based at Floyd Bennett Field was involved, it brought the comment from Dock Commissioner John McKenzie that such accidents are to be expected "where there are training flights at an airport." "That is the point that Mayor LaGuardia has been making," he said, "in his efforts to keep training away from commercial fields." Assistant District Attorney Joseph Hanley started one investigation and a naval board of inquiry, headed by Commander H. R. Bowes, was ordered convened by the Navy Department in Washington."
