Virginian-Pilot  October 2 & 6, 1941
Albany, Ga. Oct. 1 —(AP)—Army Aviation Cadet Albert Edward Kaufmann, of Norfolk, 
Va., burned to death and Cadet Charles G. Kadel, of Memphis, Tenn., was 
critically burned in the mid-air collision of two training planes near Turner 
field late today.
In a formation of 12 planes, preparing to land at the advanced air school, the 
two ships collided and burst into flames. Cadet Kadel bailed out and drifted 
down with his clothes afire. Kaufmann died in his burned ship.
Col. John B. Patrick, commanding officer at Turner, said cause of the collision 
had not been determined.
Kadel was taken to a hospital in critical condition.
Tall, nice-looking and possessing a genial disposition, Al Kaufmann was very 
popular with his classmates at Maury High School and Norfolk Division of the 
College of William and Mary.
Twenty-one years old, he was the son of Joseph and Mrs. Julia Muller Kaufmann, 
residing at 404 West Nineteenth street. He was born in Norfolk and a lifelong 
resident here. At Turner Field in Albany, Ga., he was an advanced cadet of the 
U.S. Army Air Corps.
Young Kaufmann attended elementary school at Sacred Heart School and graduated 
from Maury High School. He attended Norfolk Division for two years and during 
the summers recently had been employed by Norfolk Newspapers, Inc., working 
usually in the advertising department. He was a member of Sacred Heart Catholic 
Church and a member of the Delta Fraternity.
Besides his parents he is survived by two sisters, Miss Margaret Kaufmann, of 
New York, and Miss Barbara A. Kaufmann, of Norfolk, and three brothers, Herman 
J. Kaufmann, of Camp Polk, La; Julian F. Kaufmann, of Norfolk, and Paul R.
