They will carry 1,200 gallons of gaseline, weighing 3.4 tons. Japanese materials wll be used for almost all parts ex- cept the motor. The route laid out for the flight would carry the aviators over Cape Hanasaki on Island of Yezo, the Kurile Islands, the southern tip of Kamchatka, thence over open water to Attu Island of ths Aleutian’ ' archipelago.
