TRIUMPHS RIVAL SEA HOP TRAGEDIES 1931 Produces Best Cross- ing Record Since Busy Year of 1927. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, July 25.—Aeronautical progress since Linapergnaflew w France ¢an be gauged by a coniparison cZ North Atlantic triumphs and tragedies in 1927 and 1931, the two busiest years in the istory of aviation. . In lyBZ’I. the year in which Lindbergh led the way to victory, attempts were made to fly 11 planes across the North Atlantic. Four of them, carrying nine men, succeeded. But five others were Jost at sea and with them were lost 12 men and two women. Two planes were forced back. % This year three planes ‘already have crossed the North Atlantic, bearing six men, and there have been no fatalities. Miss Ruth Nichols cid crack up on her way to the Newfoundland hop-off point, and Clyde Pangborn and Hugh Hern- «don narrowly escaped a serious accident when their plane falled to rise under & heavy load, but both expeditions still are on the calendar for this year and others are preparing. Pacific Has Tragedy. ‘There has been tragedy in ocean fly- ing this year, though this time it was not above the dangerous North Atlantic. garly in the year Willlam MacLaren and | Mrs. Beryl Hart started across the | South Atlantic, reached Bermuda, con- tinued toward the Azores and were| never heard of more. | Up to the present, 1927 still holds tie | reccrds both for successes arnd failures, | but this year is far ahead of any other, | except 1920, which also was a good year in its ratio of successes to failure. ‘The calendar of North Atlantic Meilures and successes follows: 1919—Alcock and Brown make first sion-stop flight. Hawker and Grieve ¥ail, but are saved. 1924—United States Army around- the-world flyers make first westward crossing, with stops at Iceland, Green- Jand, Labrador and Newfoundland. Two Are Killed. 1926—Rene Fonck crashed on take- off, two of crew being killed. No suc- cesses. 1927—Lindbergh, Chamberlain and Levine, Byrd and crew and Brock and Schlee successful. Nungesser and Coli, Princess Lowenstein Wertheim and three men, Bertaud and Hill and Payne, Tulley and Metcalf, and Mrs. Frances Grayson and three men were all lost. Capt. Frank Courtney and James Fitz- maurice failed, but were not lost. 1928—Amelia Earhart and two men succeeded, but the Hon. Elsie Mackay and her man pilot were lost. Von Huen- feld, Koehl and Fitzmaurice got to Greenly Island. 1929—Williams and Yancy and three Frenchmen, Jean Assolant, Rene Le Fevre and Armeno Lotti, jr.. with Ar- thur Schreiber, American stowaway, in the Yellow Bird succeeded. Flights Successful. 1930—Kingsford-Smith, Coste and Bellonte and Boyd and O'Connor made non-stop flights and Von Gronau came | by a northern route with intermediate stops. Mears cracked up on take-off. 1931—Post and Gatty, Hillig and Hoiriss and Magyar and Endres all succeeded. Prospects for remainder of flying season are three attempts by women solo fyers, a round-the-world flight starting with an Atlantic hop by two Americans and an Atlantic flight by two others. ‘The tercentenary of Capt. John Bmith was celebrated by the English- speaking Union at St. Sepulchre’s Church, London, where he is buried. Walska Honored DECORATED BY POLAND WITH CROSS OF MERIT. By the Assoclated Press.
