Out of original entries of fifteen planes, only four actually were able to start. Of these only two made their goal. f Some bitterness is expressed in civilian quarters that the army and navy should have been able to get this vital and dangerous experiment- al flight undertaken by civilians, at no cost to the department, nor risk to its aviators. 5 Burn In Forest Fire.
