Ritchie bailed out, making the longest free-fall parachute jump up to that date. The pilot had been carrying out a series of twenty terminal velocity dives, some from 38 ft, to gather technical aeronautical research data on drag, compression and Mach number. On the final dive, excessive heating by the turbo-charger severed a vital control linkage to the tail. At 32 ft, with no elevator control, but at the relatively low speed of 250 mph, the pilot forced open the canopy and bailed out. He noticed that the tail of the airplane was on fire; it was found up a tree 3 of a mile from the main wreckage. 6126th FG, 1st AF; Aircraft and Systems Test Branch, Air Materiel Wright Field, OH; Accident 19Dec42 with engine failure taking off at Patterson Field, OH 6127 Proof Department, Tactical Section, Army AFs Proving Ground Eglin Field, FL; Used to determine the relative tactical value of the P-47C-1 type aircraft for service, October 27 to November 26; 81st FS 50th Fighter Group, AFs Tactical Center, AAB, FL; Force landed 27Nov42 at 445th FS, 50th FG; Forced landing 19Jul43 at 29th Headquarters Squadron, AFs Tactical Center, AAB, FL; Damaged by fire 28Mar44 landing at Raleigh Durham Field, NC; RFC, Kirtland Field, Albuquerque, NM 20 6128 Proof Department, Tactical Section, Army AFs Proving Ground Eglin Field, FL; Used to determine the relative tactical value of the P-47C-1 type aircraft for combat service, October 27 to November 26; 124th Base 1st AF, Bluethenthal Field, Wilmington, NC; Forced landing 29Sep44 at Bluethenthal; Reclaimed at Bluethenthal 8 6129 Proof Department, Tactical Section, Army AFs Proving Ground Eglin Field, FL; Used to determine the relative tactical value of the P-47C-1 type aircraft for combat service, October 27 to November 26; 859th Single Engine Flying Training Squadron, 62nd Single Engine Flying Training Group, Central Flying Training Matagorda Peninsula Field, TX; Ground accident 19Jul43 at Matagorda; RFC, Walnut Ridge Field, AR November 7 6130 National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory, Langley Field, Hampton, VA; Assigned October 24 to 15; RFC, Kirtland Field, Albuquerque, NM July 26 6131 Aircraft and Systems Test Branch, Wright Field, OH; Crashed 27Nov42 at Patterson Field, OH; Pilot killed 6132th FS, 80th FG, 1st AF, Field, Hempstead, Island, NY; Accident 20Dec42 landing at Field, 368th FS, 359th FG, 1st AF, Grenier Field, Manchester, NH; Accident 18May43 landing at Grenier; 311th FS, 58th FG, 1st AF, Hillsgrove Field, Providence, RI; Crashed 17Jun43 with fuel starvation at Scituate, RI 6133 RFC, Kirtland Field, Albuquerque, NM July 3 6134th FS, 326th FG, 1st AF, Bluethenthal Field, Wilmington, NC; Redesignated RP-47C; Destroyed 2Mar44 landing at Bluethenthal 6135th FS 352nd FG, 1st AF, Field, Hempstead, Island, NY; 487th FS 448th FS, 83rd FG, 1st AF, Dover Field, DE; Redesignated RP-47C; Damaged 1Feb44 taxying at Dover; 125th Base Accident 14May44 taking off at Dover; Force landed 14Aug44 with fuel starvation a tomato patch close to Dover; Mid air collision 26Jan45 with a towed target 3 E of Beach, DE; RFC, McKellar Field, TN 17 6136st FS, 56th FG, 1st AF, Bridgeport Municipal Airport, Force landed 2Nov42 with engine failure at Northford, 376th FS, 361st FG, 1st AF, Millville Field, NJ; Damaged 5Aug43 collision with P-47D 42 taxying at Millville; Camp Springs AAB, MD; Crashed 26Mar43 due engine failure near Camp Springs AAF, MD; Pilot bailed out 6137th FS, 326th FG, 1st AF, Westover Field, Chicopee, Destroyed 13Jan43 landing at Westover 6138nd Base Suffolk County Field, Island, NY; Accident 3Sep44 landing at Suffolk County; Damaged 6Jan45 by bird strike 5 SE of Mattituck, NY; RFC, Bush Field, GA 6 6139th FS, 58th FG, 1st AF, Hillsgrove Field, Providence, RI; Accident 8Jun43 landing at Hillsgrove Field; 323rd FS, 327th FG, 1st AF, Richmond AAB, VA; Damaged 3Feb44 when looped landing at Matagorda Peninsula Field, TX; Damaged 7Apr44 landing at Matagorda Peninsula; 2541st Base Central Flying Training Matagorda Peninsula Field, TX; Damaged 12May44 landing at Matagorda; 2539th Base Central Flying Training Field, TX; Damaged 1May45 taxying at Palacios Auxiliary Field, TX; RFC, Walnut Ridge Field, AR November 7 6140th FS, 80th FG, 1st AF, Republic Field, Farmingdale, Island, NY; Mid air collision 3Feb43 with P-47C 41 at Millville, NY; Pilot bailed out 6141st FS, 56th FG, 1st AF, Bridgeport Municipal Airport, Destroyed 3Nov42 when force landed with engine
