LIEUT. GAVIN SETS - ALTITUDE RECORD | Navy Flyer Reaches Height | of 18,200 Feet, Carrying 1,000 Kilograms Load. By the Associated Press, PHILADELPHIA, June 16.—After failing because of motor trouble in a first_sitempt to set up a new altitude record lor seaplanes carrying a useful 10ad of 1,000 guo‘mm. Lieut. Arthur Gavin, Navy fiver, took off less than two hours latér today and established & new American record in this class. On his second flight Lieut. Gavin reached a height of approximately 18,200, or more than 2,100 feet above the mark of 16,014 feet established by | Lieut. Zeus So'lcek earlier this month | in PN-12, No. .. engined_with Wright motors. Gavin_f%ew the PN-12, No. 2. | equipped with Pratt & Whitney radial air-cooled motort Went 12,000 Feet. Yesterday Gavin established a new record of more fnan 12,000 feet in the same plane car<ying a load of 2.000 kilograms. On 1is first attempt today Gavin reached an altitude of 15550 feet -and failure of the carburetor on the starboard motor forced him down. Al iding, he announced he would make a second attempt as soon as the Jets in the carburetor were adjusted. When he had taxied his plane up to the ramp of the deck he announced he ! had reached an altitude of 18,500 feet The exact height will not be known until the barographs in the plane have been calibrated by the contest com- mittée of the National Aeronautic As- saciation Air Too Cold for Motor. He said the cold air at the altitude he reached did not permit the motors to function properly and he could not get a sufficient number of revolutions out of them to force the huge seaplane and its load any higher. The purpost of these weight-carry- ing flights, aircraft factory official said, is to determine the “fighting abil ity” of the la: it 3 which is designed for . All air battles, it was explained, would in the future be fought at high altitudes out of the range of anti-aircraft bat- teries on the ground. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF. TODAY.
