Analysis
While on a flight to photograph farms, the engine lost power and the pilot was unable to get it restarted. An emergency landing was made in a bean field that was soft from recent rains. Shortly after touchdown, the aircraft nosed over. After the accident, about 5 gal of fuel was found in each tank. An examination and run-up of the engine revealed no preimpact, merchanical failures.
