In Taisei 6 (1917), Army Engineer Lieutenant Sugino Haruyoshi on return from Shimoshizu to Tokorozawa upon a military open air flight, crashed into a paddy field in Ogumura from strong gusts of wind. He became a victim to the early days of the aviation industry. Stone monuments were built to remember the precious life which was sacrificed.
