Three Stops for Fuel Scheduled. _The flight schedule of the transcon- tinental planes commanded by Maj.

They are to reach St. Louis by dark tomorrow | night, flying by night to Albuquerque and completing the flight over the desert and mountain country to San Diego Monday. The nine bombers are to remain at San Diego for some time and the re- turn flight will be made in leisurely fashion, with stops at all the military posts en route for tactical demonstra- tion purposes, Except for the “emergency” char- acter of the flight West the mission will' not be a novelty for Maj. Knerr and his pilots of the 2d Bombard- ment Group. Last year Maj. Knerr led & formation of LB-5 bombers from Langley Field to Mines Field, Los Angeles, to participate in the na- tional air s there. Approximately A week was consumed, however, in the Westward trip on ‘that occasion 2nd the return trip also was unburried. The two missions are regarded as of | major importance for the bombardment | forces and should do much, in the | opinion of Air Corps officers, to lift the big bombers out of the position of reiative obscurity into which they have been thrust by the more startling vchievements of smalier planes. - .
