The rough engine became worse as he throttled back to let down, but it kept running until he got it on the ground. His wingman, however, was not so fortunate; he got off a bit too far to the side of the rough, overgrown strip, and his right landing gear dropped into a steep ditch. The gear collapsed and he slid to a stop on the ship's belly. There was no fire, and the pilot was not injured, but the airplane was wrecked.
