Try this link. Original posted link failed so I "backed into the ROOT-site" and did a search on sub-menus.

DATE ADOPTED 07/10/1936
DATE RELEASED
ACCIDENT DATE 05/05/1936
CARRIER INVINCIBLE 200
LOCATION BOWLING GREEN, KENTUCKY
On May 5, 1936, at approximately 6,00 p.m., at Bowling Green, Kentucky, a privately owned airplane met with an accident resulting in death to the pilot and passenger, and the complete destruction of the aircraft.
The airplane, an Invincible Model 200, was not licensed by the Bureau of Air Commerce but bore unlicensed identification number 55N. The pilot, Alfred M. Causey, held a Federal student pilots license and was owner of the aircraft involved. The passenger was William Lynch.
According to statements of witnesses, Student Pilot Causey had been flying all afternoon, giving his friend a ride. Several times he had dived at buildings, and in recovery pulled the airplane up to very nearly its stalling position. On the fatal flight, he took off, circled the airport at about 400 feet, dived toward a crowd of people on the airport, and when within about 100 feet of the ground, pulled the airplane up into a vertical climb. At the top of this climb he allowed the airplane to stall, resulting in a spin from which he had insufficient altitude for recovery.................
Hope this helps.
