Richard Bong last Monday, P-80 Shooting Stars are to be flown at Lockheed air terminal again Monday. Authorities have been trying to learn the cause of the crash since top-ranking war ace was killed in the plunge of a jet-propelled plane.

On the theory that fatal crash may have been caused by trouble in the fuel supply, experts are checking two fuel controls. These are the governor which regulates the supply fuel to the combustion chamber of the jet engine, and a barometric control regulating the fuel supply at various altitudes. Rev.
