Death
Barksdale was testing a Douglas O-2 observation airplane for spin characteristics over McCook Field in Dayton, Ohio, and did not recover from a flat spin. While parachuting out of the plane, his parachute caught in the wing's brace wires, and he went down with the plane.[3][4] He was buried with full military honors in Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia.[1][5]
