SPEED RECORD IN AIR FLIGHT BIG SURPRISE MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich., Oct. 17.—(By The Associated Press) —Aeronautical engineers and army and navy experts at Selfridge field were specu be the next unheard of aerial feat.. ating today as to what might They came here a week ago prepared for surprises but none had expected to see a human being plunge through space at nearly 400 feet a sec- ond, nor had they expected to see an aeroplane flown virtually without the aid of wings. ‘This was the performance yesterday of Lieutenant R. Ia Maychan, of the army, who on Saturday won the Pul- itzer sero classic. Flying a Curtiss- army Diplane, with which he was vic- torious Saturday. Jieutenant Maug- han yesterday traveled one kilometer at the rate of 248.5 miles an hour, surpassing by more than 32 mules, the previous official record and mak- ing the distance 28 miles an hour faster than any unTecognized mark previously recorded. The record breaking flight was part served feature of design. General Mitchell took the speedy craft into the air end returned with the an. nouncement that no “trick flying” had figured in the flights which were electrically timed by army officers from McCook fica. The plane, built by the Curtiss cor- poration, mounts a 400 horsepower Curtiss engine and is similar in de- sign to the machines that finished in, the first four places in the Pulitzer trophy race. The performance cenvinced service observers, they declared, that devel opment of aircraft was still far from its peak andthet there was virtually of the government tests of a score of|NO limit to the speed that might be new type planes built for the natonal air race. Lieutenant Maughan's feat, it was said, would virtually decide the type of plane the army will select to develop as the stancard for the pur- suit group. The pilot's great speed was even surpassed, in the opinion of some of the.engineers, by this “flight with- out wings.” During the Pulitzer race Lieuten ant Maughan’s ‘pylon work startled} many of the pilots on the field. At more than 200 miles an hour, .he would tilt his machine on one side for & considerable~distance then complete the 120 degree turn upside down. This aroused speculation as to the distance g machine might be flown on its side, a position in which the planes had little or nothing to do with keeping it in the air. Lieuten- ant Maughan believeed this might be developed and demonstrated by a fight across Selfridge field, tance of about a mile, that under co tain.-conditions a plane might” be flown in that position for a muct greater distance than usually is re quired in making turns. It appeared that the speed of. the powerful motor was sufficient to pull the machine through the air and at the same time hold it aloft. The feat probably will have an important bearing on future wing designs, it was said. So surprised were the pilots and zero officials who witnessed Maux- han’s flights, thet “ doubting Thom- ases” appeared and even Brigadier General William Mitchell, assistant head of the army air service, wanted to satisfy himself that the perform- @nce was not. al¢ed by .some unob- ‘MOON’ DRINKING HOLDS GREAT HEALTH PROBLEM CLEVELAND, Ohio, Widespread drinking of ‘moon- shine” hi become an important public health problem, J, H.
