Mantz was killed on a landing attempt when the landing gear hit a
slight dune or sand drift. The aft fuselage broke off, the aircraft
nosed over, and Mantz was killed in the esuing tumble. A second man,
who was flying as an observer or co-pilot, survived. If you google
hard, you might find a few still pictures of the crash. I've seen a
couple in print over the years.
