by the Civil Aeronautics Board, Aviation Accident Report: Eastern Airlines crash on 26 November 1940
“ The pilot attempted to land on the east-west runway, toward the east, but undershot, contacting the ground about 8 feet from the field boundary and 75 feet from the runway. The wheels struck the boundary, made up of loose rocks approximately fifteen inches high. The aircraft bounced into the air slightly, contacted the ground again very smoothly, and rolled straight ahead for several hundred feet before veering to the right and coming to rest about 1800 feet from the field boundary. Subsequent investigation indicated that the right landing gear failed when it struck the rocks. ”
