PILOTS ARE READY FOR BALLOON RAGE Army and Navy Will Again Vie for Honors in Air Classic. By the Associsted Press. PITTSBURGH, April 27.—Army and Navy balloonists, always contenders for ‘honors in the national elimination races, are ready to test their skill against the pilots of seven civilian bags entered here for the 1929 race May 4. The Army has the edge this year through the victory of its veterans, Capt. W. E. Kepner and Lieut. W. O. Eareck- son, in the Gordon Bennett interna- tional race last year. These two are defenders of the international trophy and do not have to compete in the elimination race. Three Balloons for Army. ‘Three balloons will represent the Army when it comes time for the take- off in the University of Pittsburgh; stadium here. The international finals will be at St. Louis September 28. Pilots of the Navy's two entries, Lieut. Thomas G. W. Settle and Lieut. Jack C. Richardson, are ready to show the Army veterans a thing or two about ballooning, and hope to make the Gor- don Bennett contest a race between the Army and Navy's crack pilots to the exclusion of foreign competition, Ward T. Van Orman, recognized a: one of America’s greatest balloon pilots, heads the group of civilian balloonists. Unless Dame Luck frowns upon their ef- forts, the civillans feel certain that the elimination race will be far more than & contest of skill between the two mili- tary service groups. | Van Orman has a brilliant record of | four victories in the national races and | one in the international contest, which make him a perennial threat, He has devised a new method of com- puting his position, which he says. will Tequire but a minute’s work this year | as compared to an old laborious process | which took from 10 minutes to an hour. | Honeywell Has New Tricks, ! | portjon of the country will be ¢ Ch&fuo-mlnnu Toute at the latter t. | Cleveland.

Another great step in the progress of | airmail service in this country will be | taken this week, when airplane sched- ules will be doubled on more than 000 miles of routes from the National apital to New York and between the | Atlantic and Pacific Coasts. Every | 2nefited by the resulting increase in speed of mail handling. The increase, which will mean a doubling of the number of mail flights made daily, is a result not only of the tremendous increase in the amount of air mail which must be handled, but 2lso a demand for even closer air mail connections in all parts of the country. Service to Be Daily. On the Washington-New York line service will be doubled, effective next Sunday, May 5, and a stopover at Bal- | timore will be added if a suitable fieid is provided in that city. Not only will | the daily service be doubled, but the service will be increased from six days to seven days a week, Sunday flights being scheduled. The new schedule provides that an additional southbound plane shall leave New York at 5 a.m. daily, arriving at Philadelphia at 5:50 a.m. and in this city at 7 am. Northbound the plane will leave Washington at 6:45 p.m., ar- riving at Philadelphia at 8:25 p.m. and New York at 9 p.m. The increased service is being inau- gurated as a “shuttle” to provide di- rect connection with the planes operat- ing over the New York-San Francisco line under the new_ dcuble schedule, which will go into effect Wednesday. First Anniversary of Line. The doubling of service on the Wash- ington-New York line also will com- memorate the first anniversary of the establishment of the New York-Atlanta air mail line by Pitcairn Aviation, Inc., Government contractors, who will oper- ate the new service. Since the service was established in May, 1928, there has been a 200 per cent increase in the amount of air mail handled on this route, it was an- nounced. During the month of May, 1928, the planes carried 8,622 potunds of mail, while the unofficial figure for last month was 25,297 pounds. During the past few months. the Pitcairn line has been extended from Atlanta to Miami, Fla., eonnecting with routes flown by Pan-American Airways to Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Repub- lic, Porto Rico, the Bahamas, Mexico, Central America and South America. A line also has been opened between Miami and Tampa. New Night Service Planned. Doubling of the service between New York and the Pacific Coast will give New York mail a “second morning” de- livery on the West Coast. A new night transcontinental service will be inaugu- rated over the 2,731 miles of airways between New York and San Francisco and Los Angeles, This will eliminate the present overnight layovers of mall at both ends of the route and will speed up deliveries by at least 12 hours. The double service already is in oper- ation between New York and Lincoln, Nebr., the extension of the double serv- ice from Lincoln to the two California terminals awaiting only the completion of the new lighted airway between Salt Lake City and San Francisco over the ‘Western mountain section. Time Overland Is Cut. Under the new schedules mail in New York before 7 p.m. will be de- livered in San Francisco at 4:30 a.m. on the second day, after being in sit only one day and two . same schedule will ly to_eastbound mail. At present mail on the East or ‘West Coast is held over 12 hours en route and is not delivered until the third morning after mailing. The new service will bring points as far west as North Platte, Nebr., within one day's delivery time of New York. Mail for points as far west as Cheyenne, Wyo., will be delivered within 24 hours after leaving New York. Cities off the main route will also gain many hours in the transfer of the mail both east and west. At present there are 19 connecting lines, and their schedules will be arranged to provide the closest possible connections with the transcontinental. Southwest Route Speeded. ‘The new Omaha-Kansas City-St. nesday, bringing Southwestern and Southeastern cities. Mail from the West for Texas and Oklahoma, which has previously come into Chicago, will be transferred at Omaha over the new route, making con- nections at Kansas City with the pres- ent Chicago-Dallas line. Letters for Southeastern States will go from Omaha direct to St. Louls to connect with the Albany, Schenectady and five other upper New York State cities will be on direct one-day service with the West | Coast through schedule changes, con- necting with the transcontinental at burgh-Cleveland route will be started so that Pittsburgh, McKeesport and other Western Pennsylvania cities will meet the transcontinental at the Cleve- land terminal. Flying time of the mail planes serving ‘Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Mon- tana will also be changed to benefit mailers in these States. H. E.

Alaska, which is three and one-half days from the United States by the fastest steamships, will be brought within 12 hours of Seattle, Wash., this Summer. Three flying boat services are projected between Seattle, Skag- way and other “North country” cities, | according to reports to the American Air Transport Association. One of the most ambitious of the new Unes will be operated by Boeing | Air Transport, connecting at San Francisco with its transcontinental line to Chicago. Boeing, under the terms of a recent merger with Pan-American Alrways, will extend a line to the Mexi- can border, connecting with Pan-Amer- ican lines through Central America to Chile and Argentina, thus giving con- tinuous airplane service in an unin- terrupted e extending almost the combined length of North, Central and South America. ‘FLYING SCHOOL" {Army Flyers Are Taught Principles of Aerial Navigation. Members of the Army Air Corps' first class in a newly established school of | transport plane converted into a fly- !ing school for the student navigators. | The Fokker was accompanied by an Army Ford transport plane and an 0O-11 observation plane, which accom- | modated the “overflow” from the fly- ing school. The flight was in the nature of a final examination, the officers compos- ing the class applying the knowledge gained in nearly four months of study to actual flying conditions. The flying classroom and its attendant planes, piloted by the student navigators on courses plotted by other members of the class, flew from Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio, where the school is located, to Scott Field, IIl.; Muskogee, Okla.; Dal- las, San_Antonio, Brownsville and Gal- | veston, Tex.; New Orleans, Pensacola and Jacksonville, Fla.; Fort Bragg, N. C., and Langley Field, Va., before stop- ping here on the last leg of the trip, School Opened in January. The navigation school was opened January 2 at Wright Field under the direction of Capt. Clyde V. Finter, Lieut. Albert Hegenberger and Bradley Jones. Lieut. Hegenberger is noted for the many flights he has accomplished by astronomical navigation, principally that with Lieut. Lester J. Maitland from Oakland, Calif, to Honolulu. Capt. Finter and Mr. Jones have de- voted many year of study to navigation, u{mch is the sclence of aerial naviga- tion. The navigation course, of months’ duration, will be completed Tuesday. A new class of students is to be entered on July 1. Students in the first class, all of them Air Corps offi- cers and experienced pilots, are Lieuts. Phillips Melville, Edmund G. Lang- mead, Edmund C. Lynch, Guy H. Gale, Frank B. Tyndall and Francis B. Val- entine. completing includes all types of astro- nomical, dead reckoning and radio nav- igation. ‘The Fokker transport plane was es- pecially adapted for use as a naviga- tion classroo All the usual furnish- ings were removed and behind the pilot's cockpit a bay was built for the navigator. Ample room is afforded for the students to conduct their studies in comfort in the main cabin. The front of the plane was rebuilt, with glass win- dows, through which sextant readings may be taken. A glass-covered slot was cut in the floor, through which drift readings may be made. Complete radio installations have been provided.

Being lost in the fog while flying is an experience which many pilots have faced, but the novel experience of be-| ing lost in the fog affer actually land- navigation were visitors at Bolling |ing on a flying field remains, so far as | Fleld last week in an Army FokkeT |can be learned, the exclusive possession of Lieut. E. L. Meadow of the 95th Pur- suit Squadron, Army Air Corps. Lieut. Meadow was lost to the world for 45 minutes on the vast expanse of | Rockwell Field, Calif., one of the largest flying fields in the country. He came lost immediately after landing through a 15-foot blanket of fog. The officer attempted to taxi his plane to the “line” in front of the Army hangars by watching his compass. He failed to allow for declination, however, | and wound up on the edge of Whaler's Bight, at the southwest corner of the field. He climbed out of his plane and mission on foot and, having roughly es- tablished his bearings, again attempted to taxi to the hangar line. This time he succeeded in reaching a Navy outpost of the northwest shore line. The fog was low, so Lieut. Meadow climbed to the top wing of his plane and stood there in an effort to peer over the fog and get his bearings. He was not quite tall enough to see above the fog and finally settled down in his plane to wait for the murk to lift or for some one to come to his rescue. In the meantime, other pilots of the 95th Squadrcn stood in line listehing to the sqund of the wandering D-12 motor as Lieut. Meadow cruised around. His “rescue” finally was effected by sev- eral mechanics after the vapon had thinned out a bit. system for communication between the pilots, navigator and students. Blind-Flying Instruction Given. Instruction in blind flying has been | one of the important phases of the course, arrangements being made to completely close off all vision by quickly adjustable curtains. This compels the crew to learn the art of flying entirely by instrument, as they would have to do in_fog or thick weather. During the round-the-country flight Capt. Finter was in command and Lieut. Hegenberger piloted the flying school. - The students utilized the class- room in shifts of three, plotting their location and checking their results until they became letter perfest. Complete radio scnding and receiving sets were installed, the students main- taining communication with their home stations in addition to flying radio bea. con courses. The radio phase of th course was handled by Lisut. Le Ro: Wolfe, Air Corps, and Lieut. S. P. Rol erts, Signal Corps. CHNAENGOURAGES * ARDEVELOPHENT Three Commercial Planes Will Link Principal Cities Under New Plan. Extensive development of commer- | cial aviation in China has been assured | by action of the Chinese government in | contracting with an American commer- | ciad aviation concern for the establish- | ment of three commercial airlines con- necting the principal Chinese cities, ac- cording to an official announcement | issued here by the Chinese legation. ‘The contracts have been signed and approved by the Chinese state council largely as a result of the activities of William B. Robertson of St. Louis, one of the backers of the New York to Paris flight of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh. who has spent some time recently in China studying the possibilities of commercial aviation development there. | _ The Chinese legation announced that Sun Fo, president cf the National Aviation Corporation and minister of | rallways, signed contracts on April 17 for the development of air mail and commercial aviation by Aviation Ex- ploration, Inc., of New York, of which Mr. Robertson is president. Aviation Expioration is one of the associated companies of the Curtiss group. Under terms of the contract, which ‘was approved by the state council on April 19, the American company will be required to equip and begin operation within six months of three air mail and commercial lines totaling 2,000 miles in length. The first of these lines will be oper- ated from Shanghai via Nanking to Hankow, approximately miles. At Nanking it will connect with the second line, which will be flown by way of Hsuchow, Tsinan and Tientsin to Peking, a distance of 700 miles. The third line will be operated from Hankow to Canton, by way of Changsha, about 700 miles. BAY STATE FL;E#;GUIDE. LYNN, Mass.
