Slain Flier Was Airport Manager. Schneider Directed Field At Delawanna Until It Was Abandoned. Edward [sic] Schneider, 31, world-famous flyer, who met death Monday when a small plane in which he was flying with a student, George W. Herzog, 37, collided with a Navy trainer 600 feet over Jamaica Bay and plunged into the water, managed the Delawanna Airport three years ago. Both Schneider and Herzog were believed to have drowned. The bodies were recovered from an inlet of Jamaica Bay, near Floyd Bennett Airport. Neither the pilot of the Navy plane, Ensign Kenneth A. Kuehner, 25, of Minister, Ohio, nor his passenger, Second Class Seaman Franklin Newcomer, 25, of Rochester, Ohio, were injured as Kuehner brought the plane in to a safe landing. Only slight damage was done. Herzog held a commercial pilot's license but was taking a refresher course with Schneider as his instructor to improve himself as a pilot. Schneider learned to fly when he was 16 and had won many races in competition with the country's best flyers. He also fought in the Spanish revolution on the side of the Loyalists. He was chief pilot and field manager of the Delawanna Airport in Clifton but left when the field was abandoned.
