If my memory serves me correctly, it was the belt reduction system failure
that forced him to land in the Snake River once and led to his final
accident near the old Floating Feather airport which left him paralyzed.

Would you mind elaborating? How did the prior water landing contribue to the later accident?

What were the flying characteristics of the Davis Wing?
