Affidavit of Mrs. Mary Savage (Jusewicz), May, 1948

"As dawn came along, the breeze came up and all of a sudden the plane went up in the air. We saw it fly all over the neighborhood. It went up and down and flew like it was out of control, then it straightened up and flew to about fifty or more feet in the air; it headed toward Seaside Park and the water in the harbor. The plane settled down in the water rather hard, and some men went out and pulled the plane, with Whitehead in it, to shore. The craft was damaged slightly, but Whitehead wasn't hurt at all."
