The first was in 1931 and took them westward across Canada and Alaska to Japan and China. In 1933, they winged eastward past Labrador, | over the Greenland ice cap and on to Europe, Africa, | South America and the West Indies. * | The earlier flight began as a vacation trip around |the world. They flew from North Haven, Me., to, Ottawa; then followed jumps on successive days to Moose Factory, on James Bay, Churcill, on Hudson Bay, Baker Lake and Aklavik, where the Mackensiz River meets the Ar tic Ocean. | The last hop, 1,115 miles, was over bleak, un- | inhabited tundra where any mishap would have spelled disaster. That flight 17 years ago by newcomers to northern flying amazed experienced bush pilots. It | was the e of flying that marked Lindbergh as an | extraordinary airman from the days when he carried the mail on the night run between Chicago and St.| Louis, years before his history making trip to Paris. | The Lindberghs flew to Barrow, Nome, Siberia and thence to Japan. Storms and fog delayed them along their way to in the hop to Nome they were forced by the weather to ride the waters of Kotzebue Sound for 10 hours before completing that leg of their journey. | The vast difference in flying the same route now | with modern navigational aids simply epitomizes the remarkable progress made in aviation in the years following Lindbergh’s Paris hop. The world has grown a little blase about f]ying; but it is still easy to Tecapture the spine- -tingling | thrill shared by the great and small alike on that May day in 1927 when the word was flashed that “Lindy” had landed at Le Bourget.
