Army Fliers supply heroic chapters - in aeronautical history Magellans 'S sails gave way to steam- i boats, so airplanes proceed e to circumnavigate the globe. And it is our own U. 8. Army Fliers who write their names in undying letters upon the pages of aeronautical history. Early in March they left. Theirs was the first time-table and itinerary of its kind in history. : Seattle, Cordova, Chignik, Yokohama, Shanghai, Bangkok, Rangoon, Delhi, Bag- dad, Bucharest, Belgrade, Paris, London, Scapa Flow and Reykjavik,—were but a few of the many points they touched. A 25,000 mile adventure! But the Round-the-World-Flight was even more than a great adventure. It proved that both the planes and the fliers of the United States Army could operate in any climate on the face of the globe— through the gales and snow of the Aleutian Islands, through the typhoons and torrential rains of the China Sea, through the equa- torial heat of Indo-China, Siam and Burma, and even through a desert sand storm en- countered after leaving Umballa. The Dawn-to-Dusk Flight While the Round-thc-WOTId-Flight Fliers were somewhere in Asia, another U. S. Army plane in the hands of Lieut. Russell L.Maughan left Mitchel Field, Long Island, N Mobiloil Make the chart your guide at 3: 59 on the morning of June 23rd, 1924. 21 hours and 48 minutes later, Maugh- an landed at Crissey Field, San Francisco, his actual flying time having been 18 hours, 26% minutes. Theflightcovered 28 50 miles. For both the Round-the-World trip and the Dawn-to-Dusk Flight, Gargoyle Mobil- oil «B”" was the oil officially stlected and supplied by the U. 8. Army Air Service. This Gargoyle Mobiloil «B” differed in no way from the Gargoyle Mobiloil «B” which is used every day by so many of your own friends who own motorcycles, farm tractors, or certain types of automobiles for which this Mobiloil is recommended. To use the grade of Mobiloil recom- mended for your car is to secure the same dependability of engine performancé that was demanded in the U. S. Army World Flight. COMPANY
