Curtiss T-32 Condor II, msn 22, registered NC12354. Crashed 9 June 1934 on a scheduled revenue flight. The aircraft departed Newark Airport at 1600LT bound for Syracuse and Chicago. While overflying the State of New York at an altitude of 2,000 feet, the crew encountered bad weather conditions and the visibility was reduced due to heavy rain falls and clouds. The airplane impacted the slope of Mt. Last Chance located in the Catskills Mountain Range, some 15 km NE of Livingston Manor. Rescuers arrived on the scene two days later and no survivors were found among the burnt wreckage.
Crew: Clyde Holbrook, pilot, John Barron Jr., copilot, Ada Huckeby, stewardess.
Passengers: Harry Pinsley, Harold C. Coppins, William Baxter Bader, William Andrew Cass.
