[edit]Eddie Schneider Dies in Long Island Plane Collision. Young Pilot Ran Delawanna Airport, Fought in Spain. Edward ("Eddie") Schneider, 31, world renowned flier, who once managed the Delawanna Airport, died yesterday with a student pilot when a small plane in which they were flying collided with a Navy trainer and plunged 600 feet into Jamaica Bay. The pilot and passenger in the Navy plane were uninjured. The bodies of Schneider and the student, George W. Herzog, 37, were recovered from an inlet of Jamaica Bay, near Floyd Bennett Airport. They were believed to have drowned. Herzog held a commercial pilots license but was taking a Civil Aeronautics Board "refresher" course with Schneider as his instructor. Ensign Kenneth A. Kuehner, 25, of Minister, Ohio, pilot of the Navy plane, brought his craft to a safe landing and it was found to be damaged only slightly. His passenger was Second Class Seaman Franklin Newcomer, 25, of Rochester, Ohio. Schneider who learned to fly at 16 when he resided at 114 Carlton Avenue, Jersey City, was one of four "Suicide pilots", who led the Yankee Squadron fighting with the Loyalists In the Spanish revolution in 1937. Bert Acosta was also a member of the American quartet of aces. In 1930 Schneider set a new junior speed record of 29 hours and 41 minutes from Westfield, New Jersey, to Los Angeles. A week later he smashed two other record with eastward flights. In 1935 the young flier narrowly escaped death in an accident similar to that in which he died yesterday. While flying over Newark Bay with a student, the engine of his plane went dead and the ship overturned while making an emergency landing on the bay, Schneider and his student were thrown into the water and were rescued. Schneider left Dickinson High School Jersey City, in his third year to take up flying. The "air bug" bit him when he was on a visit to Germany and made a flight in a commercial plane from Hanover to Hamburg. On his return home he took up flying at Roosevelt Field, Long Island In 1931 he won the Great Lakes Trophy in the Ford tour for single-engine planes, beating fliers like Jimmy Doolittle and Frank Hawkes. During his flying career he visited every State in the Country. In 1937 he was chief pilot and field manager at Delawanna Airport.
Sudden Death. Edward Schneider, former manager of the old Delawanna Airport, lost his life in an airplane crash In Jamaica Bay yesterday.
