When we were running our tests we had to wait for several days to get the wind in the right direction with re- spect to the runway. This was be- cause, when taking off with a heavy load. there is a good chance of a bad crash if the wind is across the run- way. Then, on another morning. we were prevented from taking offt on our transatlantic flight because water covered the runway. So much for the starting. Must Fly in Storms. After our flight across the Atlantic 1 am convinced that the plane of the future may reasonably be expected to fly in any weather but the most in- ense storms. 3 ¥ The winds across the Atlantic are such that, as a general rule, it is sev- eral hundred miles shorter to fly from America to Europe than from ‘Europe to America. However, it is manifestly true that with a thorough knowledge of wind conditions over the Atlantic the distance, or rather the time, can be cut several hundred miles. This is true because the wind changes both its strength and direc- tion with changes in altitude. Cer- tain rules can be laid down as to these changes to guide transatlantic air avigation. ) ND‘:‘. on our fiight across, we paid as much attengion as possible to pro- curing the strongest wind and the most favorable wind as far as direc- tion was concerned. Increase Up to 1,300 Feet. We found that the winds increased jn service with the altitude up to about 1,500 feet and then did not in- crease much with the aititude until around 3,000 feet. From that altitude, up as high as we flew, the winds seemed to increase in strensth, but the direction of the wind had been taken into consideration as well as its strength because at sea westerly winds change their direction clockwise about 15 degrees from the surface of the sea up to. about 1,270 feet. Of course, a wind directly behind the plane might assist it more than a stronger wind with 20 degrees angle to the course. Changes in the direc- tion of the wind with changes .in al- titude are more pronounced over land,. it is believed, than over the water. The very vital importance of this matter ‘to transatlantic fyers is dem- onstrated by the fact that on several occasions when we had surface winds from an easterly direction, and therefore against us, we were able t0 ascend to an altitude above 3,000 feet and thereby get winds with us. Helped by Wind. But we won. I think that at times we were helped by the wind as much as 30 miles an hour, in spite of the big load of personnel and equipment we were carrying, and in spite of the fact that a three-engine plane has a shorter cruising radius than a one- engine plane, due to the power unit in the one-engine plane being more compact and giving less resistance per unit of horsepower. With the little over 42 hours of gasoline we found we carried we could have broken the world distance rec- ord, but that was not our object. For our. success in so taking ad- vantage of the wind we must give credit to Mr. Kimball and his asso- ciates, Messrs, Barrett and Rossby. I should like to mention again the Weather Bureau and the Radio Cor- poration of America, which gave re- ports from ships to the Weather Bu- reau. Radio Bearings Taken. At the time the radio bearings were taken the plane would be some- were on the line, but another bear- ing would be needed to get another line, and where the two lines crossed would be the position of the airplane. The fact that bearings are not taken at the same time does not bother the navigator, as he knows how far and in what direction the plane had gone since the first bearing. It seems thgt undoubtedly the trans- atlantic flelds of the future will have in the vicinity several radio direction- finding stations, so that if a plane ar- rives in foggy weather it will be ahle 10 locate itself by these radio bearings. This might well make a difference in the speed of the plane of as much as 20 miles an hour. An air navigator, using his drift indicator, can estimate his speed over ground or water and the angle at which the wind is drifting him and in this way succeed in flying at an altitude that would give him the greatest speed. If the alr were still, the navigator could always tell what speed and direc- tion he was making, even in a fog, but RY CLEANIN AT WOODRUFF'S s of the Highest Quality and Soa Tesy nlined Wool Cloaks, $1.50 For Estimates, Main 1400-1401-7413 ALLARD JR.

In all probability he would not have to wait for storms to clear, but it will be esse r him to know where the of thes storms are. In this way he can tually get considerable assistance in a storm. For example, the wind of the storm area in the North Atlantic v counter-clockwise around the center, and if the navigator flies along the southern side of this disturbance he will get consideral from the wind, espe at that altitude whi the mavimum wind, h will give him but if he tlies | north of the distérbance he will have the winds against him. In the case of a hige-pres: good weather area. the winds travel clockwise in the North Atlantic. and it is, therefore, advantageous to fly on the northern side of the center of the high-pressure area. Might Get Winds' 5 On the other hand, if it were impos- sible for a pilot to fly on the northern side of this area, he would, as a gen- eral rule, find, I thii a certain altitude, say around . that the surface winds had shifted to a certain degree toward the west and that instead of having the winds bucking him he would have them ure or | with him. Therefore 1 staked everything on that weather map. It indicated that it we should fly fairly high for some hundreds of miles after leaving New- foundland, we would probably have good winds with us, that these winds might blow us a little to the south and then a little to the north of the course, that then we would get into a high-pressure area with a higher barometer and that around 10,000 feet in this area we would have the winds with us, blowing the plane, gen- erally speaking, a little off our course to the south. Following this theory we kept at a high altitude. There was another ad- vantage here because it frequently took us out of the fog and clouds, but frequently we ran into huge clouds that we could not get over, which was not pleasant, for the whole cloud mass was cold and the temperature at the time was not far from the dan- gerous freezing point where the wa- ter that drenches the plane is likely to form into ice, ° Water Dripping in Cabin. During the dark hours when I was working on my charts I could tell when we were in a thick cloud by the water dripping into the navigator's cabin, Staking all on that weather map during the hour after endless hour during the night, we could not help but wonder whether or not the theory would turn out to be correct. It it should not, I thought we would have good use for our emer- gency department with our boat in it provided, of course, we could land in rough water without cracking up our machine too badly.

While we were still in the clouds and wondering how the winds were blowing us Noville got into com- munication with some ships that were in the fog two miles beneath, and from these ships got radio bearings. These bearings told us that we were correct about the drift of the winds, and we knew then that our course would take us to Finisterre, in France. For thus locati ourselves the credit goes to Nov It was in my opinion a remarkable and efficient piece of work. There is no doubt that radio will play a great part in the future of transatlantic navigation of the air. Faster Time Planned. When we saw that we were hound to Finisterre we realized that we would make better time by following this course with a change of only a few degrees, than by flying over the south- ern end of Ireland and England. When we got out of the clouds a little after 9 a.m. we were able further to check our position and felt certain we would hit Cape Finisterre. From then on until we struck land, though we had clouds above, we were able to see the water and get our speed over it as well as our angle of drift, and so steer our course in quite a straight line. Science has not yet developed any instrument that will enable an air navigator to locate himself in a fog except by radio bearings. The ship or station that gives this bearing first gives its position in latitude and longi- tude. This is plotted on a chart. Then the direction of the airplane is given from this position and a line is drawn in that direction from the ship station. (Covyright. 1027. in the United States. Canada. Mexico, Cuba.
