This Bellanca Pacemaker, Leonardo da Vinci, was photographed by J. E. Martin on August 25, 1934, the day after it crashed near Newport, Wales, having flown from Rome to position at Dublin for an Atlantic flight. The pilots, Capt George Pond and Lt Cesare Sabelli, were only slightly injured. The previous May they had made a successful west-east crossing of the Atlantic during an attempt to fly to Rome which ended in a forced landing in County Tyrone, Ireland. This landing was due to oil starvation caused by deliberate sabotage.
Another inverted American for starters! The photo shows Bellanca J-300 NR13137 "Leonardo da Vinci" on its back after the accident on Carn Ingli in Pembrokeshire on 1.9.34.
15.5.34 "Leonardo da Vinci" was Bellanca J-300 NR13137 c/n 30006. George Pond and Gesare Sahelli had left New York at 0725 local time on 14.5.34 and made a forced landing after engine trouble, damaging the undercarriage in a ditch. The aircraft was flown out from the site to Baldonnell after local repair on 22.5.34. It continued from Dublin to Cardiff 24.5.34 and on to Heston 25.5.34, finally reaching Rome after further attention on 11.6.34. The pilots attempted a non-stop Rome - USA flight, leaving at 0700 on 18.8.34 hut at about 0400 on 1.9.34, after apparently having abandoned their attempt and awaiting the dawn, the aircraft crashed on Carn Ingli in Pembrokeshire. The crew survived but the aircraft was reportedly written off - can anyone confirm what happened to it?
