Circumstances:
The flight from Warsaw to Prag and Strasbourg was uneventful. During the stop in Strasbourg, the pilot informed his base that all was OK. The last leg to Paris-Le Bourget was completed in very good weather conditions. On final approach to Le Bourget Airfield, the aircraft entered an uncontrolled descent and crashed in a huge explosion, killing all five occupants. It appears that the pilot should abort the landing due to the presence of another aircraft taking off at the same time.

Henri Brousse, pilot.

Mr. & Mrs. Raymond.
