The next day, after making the repairs himself, Harry Brooks left Titusville and circled over the Atlantic Ocean, where his plane went down off the coast of Melbourne, Florida, due to a technical malfunction.
The Harry Brooks Sympathy Acknowledgement Card contains one piece of correspondence from the Brooks family thanking the members of the Rebekah Lodge, of Birmingham, Michigan, for the card they sent to the family.
