From Budapest to Rome for the first congress of transocean flyers, flew Capt. George (“Yurga”) Endres in the Lockheed Justice for Hungary which he flew from the U. S. last year. Just before the take-off Capt. Alexander Magyar, his transatlantic flying companion with whom Capt. Endres later quarreled, withdrew from the Rome jaunt. In his place went Capt. Julius Bittay. Arrived over Littorio Airport the plane went into a sideslip, unaccountably crashed. Before the eyes of other famed airmen gathered to greet them, Flyers Endres and Bittay died in flames.
