Moisant and Arch Hoxey, aviators extra-ordinary, were killed today. Moisant died at 9:15 a.m. trying to alight in a field a few miles north of New Orleans. Hoxey died at 2:12 p.m. at Los Angeles. The total deaths for 1910 was 35. Moisant, a Chicagoian by birth, after an adventurous life in Central America, became interested in aviation in France less than a year ago. He soared into public recognition through his plucky flight from Paris across the English Channel to London with a passenger, and later finding himself without a machine, by buying one from a friend and within ten minutes starting on his winning flight from Belmont Park, New York around the Statute of Liberty, for a prize of $10,000. [Note: The International Airport in New Orleans is now called the Louis Armstrong International Airport but is located on Moisant Field which was named for John Moisant in 1940. dh] Arch Hoxey, after a year of uniform success with the Wright aeroplane, in which he had come to have a name for fearless and competence in the air, and in which only within the week, he had set a new world’s altitude record of 11,474 feet and then to show his contempt for the earth had sailed majestically more than 4,000 feet about the highest mountain in California, ran afoul of the same kind of shifty, boiling, treacherous wind when a matter of some 500 feet in the air, and a minute, later a horrified crowd, aroused from its shock, was rushing madly to where a broken mass of humanity lay beneath a torn bit of canvass and some broken spars.
