Type of Plane As the name denotes, the plane is of the type that can take-off from the water or from land. A boat type of fuselage forms the underbody. Wheels that can be drawn into the hull at the will of the pilot are an integral part. When taking off from land these wheels are drawn in to lessen the air resistance. The piane is the same type as the Navy has used in the air mapping work ir. Alaska in recent years with the e.ception that the Wright Cyclone motor of 450 horsepower is used. This gives !the planc an air speed of 125 miles an hour. This speed Was maintained most of the distance north, While the ship is ordinarily a ten-passenger plane, for this flight {north some’ of this space was de- voted to gas space.
