  • The American airship Roma crashed in Norfolk, Virginia, killing 34 people, all but five of whom were officers and enlisted men of the U.S. Army's Air Service. [84] The dirigible, filled with hydrogen gas that had been used to replace its relatively safe buoyant of helium, began a rapid descent after its pitch control broke. With no control of their vertical movement, the crew had the misfortune of striking high tension electrical wires, which caused the hydrogen to ignite into flame. Only 11 people on board survived the accident. The Roma had departed Langley Field at 1:30 in the afternoon for a test flight of its newly-installed Liberty L-12 engines and was approaching Hampton Roads Naval Base when it began tilting forward. [85]

    dirigibles for scheduled flights. [100]
  • Concerts Colonne orchestra in Paris, conducted by Gabriel Pierné, was enthusiastically received by the audience and praised by critics.

  • Died:

February 26, 1922 (Sunday)

  • A 20-year military alliance between the
    Boulogne, to be signed in London advance of the April 10 economic conference in Genoa. "If it means anything," a reporter for The New York Times wrote, "it must mean an end of the tiresome quarrels between England and France which have cursed Europe since Nov. 11, 1918." Besides agreeing to go to war if Germany made an unprovoked attack against either nation, the pact between the UK and France also meant "that England and France promise to protect Poland against attack by Germany—a considerable victory gained by France for her protégé." [103] The pledge to Poland, in effect until the year 1942, would be tested 17 years later on September 1, 1939, when the UK and France would declare war on Germany after the latter's invasion of Poland. The two premiers had met the day before to discuss the conference. [104]

  • The
    U.S. Supreme Court decided the companion cases of Fairchild v. Hughes and Leser v. Garnett, both of which rejected challenges by citizens to the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, extending the right to vote to women. Oscar Leser contended that the 19th Amendment didn't apply to the U.S. state of Maryland because the Maryland State Constitution specifically limited the right to vote to men, and the Maryland state legislature had voted against ratifying the 19th Amendment or amending the Maryland constitution. Charles S. Fairchild had filed suit to compel the withdrawal of the proclamation of the amendment's effect, and the Supreme Court determined that a citizen had no standing to maintain a cause of action. [106]
