CAMDEN, N.J.-The pilot and four passengers of a fast transport plane of the Ludington Line, bound from Newark to Washington, were killed tonight when the plane crashed and burst into flames early this evening as it was swooping to land at the Central Airport here. The ship struck the third green of the Cooper Creek Parkway Golf Club, about a mile from the airport and only 100-yards from the traffic-crowded Marlton Pike. Officials of the air line and of the airport joined with Camden authorities in investigating the accident soon after the fire was extinguished, but its cause was difficult to determine because the plane was a complete wreck. The craft was a low-wing Lockheed Orion powered with a Wasp motor. 11/5/31. All that was left after the crash: a view of the remains of the plane. 11/5/31.
