READY FOR TESTS Secretly Built All-Metal Mon- oplane to Be Capable of 220 Miles an Hour. By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, May 17.—Initial de- velopment of America’s latest sky fight- | ing equipment, a 220-mile-an-hour low wing, all metal monoplane, has been completed here. The combination attack-bombing-cb- servation craft, built in strict secrecy, probably will be taken on its maiden flight in several days, and then be put through rigid operation tests at Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio. In general appearance, the fighter re- scmbles the commercial ships recently constructed for Frank Hawks, fiyer, and the Lincoln Ellsworth A:xt- arctic expedition. ‘The ship has two open cockpits and 1s powered with a 700-horsepower motor. One cockpit has been designed for the pilot and the other for a gunner-ob- server. Equipment has been installed | for carrying of bombs and machine guns. Airmen regarded its outstanding fea- tures as a long-flying range, speed which outdoes that of the present pursuit craft and maneuverability.
