AIR RACES REVEAL PLANE SPEED GAIN fccmmercml Machme Makes| Mistory by Defeating Service Craft. BY JOSEPH 5. EDGERTON. . Avintion Bditer of The Bt OLEVELAND, Ohio, September 3.— Aoy e Sontrisia ol s o for pa; n the National Air Races ‘nm came to & close when the Pulitzer races, a former feature-of the national meet. were aban- doned several years ago, it is néticeable | that lhe average speeds of the various types of planes entered have inereased materislly since last vear. ‘The Pulitzer events were discontinned after speeds of better than 360 miles per dent that further increases wotlld neces- sitate landing speeds so great as to in- crease the hasard to planes and pilots bevond any benefits to be derived. Nea-Racing Types Compete. 8ince the discontinuance of the Pu- litaer event, in which, for several years; the Army and Navy were the chief con- | testants, the many races which feature | the annual air classic now in progress here, have Ween confined to planes of the non-racing type. ‘This year there have been races for light planes, cabin passenger planes of various sizex and the vatjous types of | military planes assigned here by the Army, Navy and Marine Corps, from the pursuit up to the bombardment claasifi- 3 In practically sll of the races. new speed records have been established, many of them representing considerable increases over those made a year ago by planes of the sime types. The steady trend toward higher speeds which is so evident this year is the result of better designing and construction and more powerful -and compact engines, ‘The range of speeds in the commer- cial plane races has been quite large, from slightly Twe “Myflsv ‘There are two “mystery” es on ,the field here this week, bnlh of them low-wing monopianes buiit by Travelair, which are the only special high-speed ahips built. for the meet. One of them | proved to be a disappointment, and Jittle -has been seen of it in action. The. othet, however, is the fastest plane| here and is credited with a top speed of between 200 and 225 miles per hour. | Over the triangular course it made 50 | miles at 1949 miles per hour in yes- terday's free-for-all race. This ship was built primarily for maneuverability, and some of the finest scrobatic flying of the meet has been performed in it by PFreddy Lund and Doug Davis of Atlants, Ga., two of the ! country's most renowned civillan sero- batic pilots. The jncressed speeds realised in -the commercisl plane races a of demands of air trans for planes capable of Intaining bet- ter achedules over the various air lines of the Nation. The passenger plane ‘which cruisés at less than 100 miles per Tour alréady is obsolescent,.and the cruising speeds are climbing with each new plane series, “It is obvious that we must have speed and more speed from our com- | ahips,” Lieut. Bric Nelson, mem- ber of the Army round-the-world flight, and nevr eonnected with one of the o latgest air transport com. panies; told the writer, ‘What the Operator Must Sel. ‘What I % the air transport operator :mn tx»;l to the public?
