BIOGRAPHY:
Lt. Fazekas was flying in formation about 10,000 feet. He made a gentle diving turns from his formation. He kept losing altitude and suddenly his ship broke into a tight spiral just before he hit the ground. The ship exploded instantly. He made no radio call and showed no sign of conciousness. There was plenty of time for jumping but pilot was not seen to make any attempt to do so.
