AVIATION LEADERS - OFFTO KITTY HAWK Orville Wright Accompanies Distinguished Party to Kill Devil Hill for Ceremony. ‘More than 200 of the world’s aero- nautical leaders left Washington aboard a chartered two-week international celebration o! the twenty - fifth anniversary of the | first- airplane flight by man. Accompanied by Orville Wright, the hero of the first successful flight, the distinguished party is making the first pilgrimage in aviation history—to the sandy, desolate North Carolina coast near Kitty Hawk Coast Guard station to pay tribute to the Wright brothers on the scene of their epochal experi- ments and on the anniversary of the first flight, December 17, 1903. The ceremonies at Kitty Hawk will include the laying of the coroner stone of a Federal monument on the top of Kill Devil Hill and the unveiling of a memorial at the point from which the first flight began. These ceremonies form the climax of an international celebration which began about Decem- ber 1, when the foreign delegations be- gan nrrivin% in the United States, and which has included trips to the Inter- national Aeronautical Exposition in Chicago, to the Wright home in Dayton, Ohlo, and to the Wright field labora- tories at Dayton, and the International Civil Aeronautics Conference, which has just been held here.

The landing field, which is to be used for test purposes on the new Miami-Bermuda air transport line, is to be the forerunner of a chain of huge floating landing fields for transatlantic flying, it was announced by Edward R. Armstrong of Wilmington, Del., inventor of the new means of conquering ocean distance by alr. Hangars to Be Built. The initial floating island is to be 1,200 feet long, with landing deck 200 feet wide and with living quarters, hangars and machine shops on either side of the landing deck. The deck will float nearly 100 feet above water end is supported on long pillars, which extend far below sea level, floating on deeply submerged metal pontoons.

Francis Jenkins, noted Washington inventor, also showed a group of re- markable motion pictures, including fllms made by a new type of camera which reduces speed 200 times and makes the most rapid motions snail- like. ‘The pictures are taken by the camera at a rate of 3,200 per second and were reproduced at the ordinary motion picture rate of 16 per second. Pigeons Fiy Like Plane. ‘The flights of groups of pigeons were shown in which the motion of every feather in the wings could be traced in the most rapid flight and which reveal- ed that the wings move not up and down, but in a horizontal plane fore and aft, like the wings of an airplane. A horse jumping a hedge occupied sev- | eral minutes in the air and diving pic- tures were shown in which the move- ment of every drop of water displaced in the splash could be followed.
