Week-End Tour of World (Continued From First Page.) eharged from the Army in the Spring of 1919, Flying appealed to him as being something to stick to, so he joined that early group of barnstormers and for the next three years barged around the country as s lone wolf, thrilling the natives and inspiring them to fly ~—at & dollar a minute. His ship—an OXS5 JN4 (Jenny)—was the third air- plane sold by the Government on the Pacific Coast, and its license number was 9. Circus Formed in 1922. ‘Then, in 1922, Pang and the late Ivan R. Gates got together and formed the well remembered Gates Flying Circus. And was that something! At one time or another during the eight years of its existence the Gates Flying Circus employed just about every outstanding flyer in America. Its record is an amazing thing. to study. Its history is the history of the development of commercial avia- tion during the formative post-war years. Pangborn was half-owner, chief | pilot and operations manager of the outfit, and during this eight-year period (and during his private barn- storming tours) he estimates that he himself hauled about 200,000 pas- sengers. And without a single fatality. Not only that; Pang has yet to crack up his first airplane, a fact of which he is mighty—and justly—proud. “Those were the good old days” | says Pang, with a reminiscent smile. *“Right after the war I got 15 bucks a | hop. but that didn't last long. Com- petition brought prices down to 10 and five, and in 1923 we were gs!flng two-and-a-half—and doing a land- office business. By 1925 we were | charging a dollar for a ride around | the fleld, and that was swell, because | we were carrying them by the thou- | sands. I've taken up as many as 1,300 passengers on a single Sunday. Refueling Mark Set. It was in 1929 that Pangborn set a | refueling record which never had been eclipsed. Accompanied by Carl Dickson, Papg took off from the Syra- cuse State Fair grounds in a New Standard and remained aloft for eight days, establishing an unbroken en- durance flight record for open-cockpit planes. The refueling experience gained during this difficult flight will, | Pangborn believes, serve him well dur- ing his forthcoming venture. Shortly after this stringent Depart- ment of Commerce regulations and | an air-minded America forced the circus to “bed down for keeps,” and | Pangborn became chief test pilot and | assistant engineer for the New Stand- | ard Aircraft Corp. of Paterson, N. J. | But a job of this sort was too tame and | inactive for an old barnstormer like | Pang, so in 1930 he chucked it and went on the road again. This time he formed an association which was to have far-reaching re- sults and make him one of the Na- tion’s air heroes. Pangborn had given post-graduate flying instruction to a wealthy young man by the name of Hygh Herndon, jr. Herndon took to flying like a duck takes to water, and in 1930 he fore- | swore Park avenue and accompanied Pangborn along the gypsy air trail. | During that season the pair hit 32 States and carried 85,000 passengers. World Flight Contemplated. It was during this time that Pang decided that he would try to blaze a record-breaking trail around the world and at the same time make the Grst non-stop flight across the Pacific. Herndon was nothing loath to be- eome a partner in the adventure, and on July 28, 1931, the two hopped off from Floyd Bennett Airport in a Bel- lanca. Setting a still unbroken record, they flew from Newfoundland to Wales in 10 hours and 50 minutes; then they pushed on across Europe, Russia and Siberia to a safe landing at Tasha- kawa Airport, outside of Tokio. Their time from New York to Tokio (inciud- ing three days’ delay at Kharbarovsk, Siberia) was nine days—another rec- ord which still stands. The landing of Pangborn and Hern- | don in Japan was the signal for trouble. They had flown from Siberia to Japan over what the Japanese re- gard as forbidden territory. Besides, they had taken pictures. The Japa- nese authorities promptly arrested them and confiscated their plane. After days of questioning and in- vestigation, the authorities ordered the two airmen tried on a charge of espionage and 55 other infractions of Japanese military law. “Boy, was that something!” rumi- nates Pang. “When we were told about all the charges against us we had visions of a firing squad or at the very least, life in a Japanese hoosegow. Any damn fool would've known that we weren't spies, but we couldn’t convince the Japs. Probably because as they're &fipie& they think everybody else is, Argument of No Avail. No amount of argument or protest eould dissuade the Japanese from making examples of Pangborn and Herndon; they were brought to trial and promptly found guilty on all charges. The “merciful” sentence of the court was 210 days in jail, a fine of $1,025 for each and expulsion from Japan. American relations with Japan were not too good at this time, and this fact probably militated against Pangborn ‘Washington stepped in and vigorously demanded the fiyers’ release. Eveniu- ally the Japanese saw the light of reason and commuted the jail sen- . ‘were paid. ‘The plans of Pln‘born and Herndon for a record-breaking trip around the world had long® since gone by the board, but they still wanted to make a non-stop trans-FPacific fiight. After considerable argument, the Japanese agreed to permit them to make the attempt. On October 3, 1931, despite incle- ment weather on the entire route, which lay along the storm-ridden Kuriles and Aleutians, Pangborn and Herndon took off from a beach outside ‘Tokio, dropped their landing gear, and 41 hours later, on October 5, landed on their “belly” at Wenatchee, ‘Wash.—Pangborn’s home town. Thus did they complete the first and only non-stop flight east or west across the Pacific and under appalling weather conditions. “I'm not particularly anxious to ex- perience that again” says Pang grimly. “It was ‘over the top’' prac- | tically the entire way and blind the rest. They told us we couldn’t make it so late in the year—but we did.” Won Place in Big Race. Aside from a demonstration flight to South America, Pangborn rested on his laurels during the next three years. Then, last Winter, as co-pilot and navigator, he and Roscoe Turner won third place in the sensational McPherson Trophy race from London to Melbourne. And now Pang’s seeking new worlds to conquer—with, if I may be permit- | ted to hazard a prediction, better ihan an even chance for success. Pangborn’s co-pilot in this world- circling adventure is slated to be Ben- nett H. Griffin, another old-time barn- stormer. He is 39, an Oklahoman by birth, and served with the American air forces 1n Italy during the war. After being discharged this slight, wiry, smiling little pilot took up barn- storming and aside from estaplishing a refueling endurance record of 304 | hours with Roy Hunt, kept well out of the public eye until 1932. During the Summer of that year | Griffin and the Texas cowboy-pilot, Jimmy Mattern, hopped from Floyd Bennett Field in an attempt to fly around the world in a Lockheed Vega. After completing the first non-stop flight from New York to Berlin they roared on toward Moscow. Plane Is Wrecked. One early dawn, in making a land- | ing near Borisov, Russia, to effect minor repairs, their plane was wrecked when the apparently safe and level | ground turned out to be a grass-cov- ered swamp. All that Mattern and Griffin were able to salvage from the wreck were the insignia which dec- | orated the sides of the fuselage. At prsent Griffin is assistant to the chief airline inspector, Bureau ot Alr Commerce, at Washington. The third member of this trio of aerial argonauts will be Reeder Nichols, an expert radio engineer and operator. Upon him will devoive the arduous task of maintaining constant communication with the world during the flight—one that he performed ad- mirably during his flight from Lon- don to Melbourne last Winter with Turner and Pangborn. During this flight Nichols estab- lished two world records for plane-to- ground communication: On one occa- sion, while the ship was flashing across Northern Australia, he was in code communication with Bergen, Nor- way, and after signing off tuned in uninterruptedly with San Francisco. Previously, while the plane was cross- ing India, he had kept a station in Manila vocally informed regarding the flight. Finishing Touches Given. Nichols is an engineer for Lear Radio Developments and is now put- ting the finishing touches on the radio equipment which the round-the-world plane will carry. The set has a 500- watt output and will be the strongest ever installed in an airplane. Nichols says that he expects to maintain two- way voice communication from every point along the route. As a one-time holder of the record for speedy circumnavigation of the globe and as a participant in the first flight around the world by the Army fiyers in 1924, I take more than an academic interest in such feats of skill and endurance as Pangborn and his associates are planning. Too, I incline to the belief that there are millions of others equally in- terested, but who can gain their thrills only vicariously. Consequently, it should not be amiss to recall some of the record-breaking jaunts around the world. The world has been circled by water, in ships large and small; by land and water; by land, air and water; by air alone. People have walked, ridden bicycles and motor cycles, and driven automobiles around it. ‘The first known record for circum- navigation of the globe was estab- | lished by the expedition of that intre- pid Portuguese explorer, Ferdinand Magellan. In 1519 Magellan approached the King of Portugal with the suggestion that he support an expedition to dis- cover & wesiern route to the Spice Islands. The King of Portugal wasn't interested, so Magellan carried his idea to the King of Spain, who ac- cepted it. and Herndon.

The voyage had not been an easy one, what with mutinies and storms and privation, and one chron- icler records that it must have been with a feeling of relief that Magellan met his death during an encounter with natives in the Philippines. Although somewhat discouraged, the remaining members of the expedition on and succeeded in sailing their ship back to Seville with a val- usble cargo. The time for this first circumnavigation of the globe was 1,083 days—almost three years. It was 63 years ago that the imag- inative M. Jules Verne precipitated a world into the seething cauldron of lively discussion over rec- ord-breaking globe-girdling possibil- ities. He wrote his immortal “Around the World in 80 Days,” and ever since old and young have thrilled to the | fanciful exploits of M. Verne's fic- tional characters—the imperturbable Phileas Fogg, the faithful Passepar- tout, the beautiful Aouda and Mr. Fogg’s nemesis, Detective Fix. Won £20,000 Wager. M, Verne recorded that Mr. Fogg sat in the Reform Club, in London, one night and wagered £20,000 that he could, without preparation, travel around the world in 80 days; that he departed from Charing Cross Sta- tion at 8:45 p.m. Wednesday, October 2, 1872, and that he won his wager by reappearing at the Reform Club pre- cisely on the dot at 8:45 p.m. Satur- day, December 21, 1872—80 days to the second. The punctilious Mr. Fogg actually returned to London in 179 days, but, because of his failure to correct an error in time, was unaware of the fact until 10 minutes before he was to appear at the Reform Club in order to win his bet. ‘The Verne story, as the oldsters will attest, was ridiculed generally. consensus was that, like most Verne stories, it was “absurd and impossi- ble”; that while train and steamer facilities were adequate to transport one around the world in 80 days, the ever-present uncertainties inci- dental to travel and the element of chance were such as to preclude any one's seriously undertaking such a foolhardy mission. It was not until 1889 that any one | decided to contest Mr. Fogg's fictitious record. At that time the late Joseph Pulitzer employed on his New York World a comely young “sob sister.” Her name was Elizabeth Cochrane, but she had adopted the pseudonym of Nellie Bly, by which name he was known until the day of her death several years ago." Most of the old- time newspaper men recall her as being “about as big as & minute and cute as hell,” but possessed of amaz- ing nerve, energy and resSurce. Order Given Briefly. One day Mr. Pulitzer called Nellie into his office and without warning asked a question: “Can you start on a trip around the worid tomorrow?” If Nellle was surprised, she didn't display it by the bat of an eyelash. “Yes, sir,” she replied with com- mendable brevity. “All right,” Mr. Pulitzer barked. “I want you to knock about five days off this fellow Phineas Pogg's record. Drop in this afternoon,” he added, turning to his work. An assignment is an assignment in the jonrnalistic racket, and ordinarily & reporter isn’t given more than a few minutes to prepare to cover one. Con- sidering herself fortunate in having almost & day in which to get ready, Miss Bly went home and packed; the next day she was on the Atlantic, bound for Southampton. She passed through London, crossed the Channel to Prance, znd at the request of M. Verne lwpped at Amiens to pay him & brief visit. Althotgh this was 17 years after he had sent Phileas Fogg around the world in 80 days, Verne expressed doubt that Nellie could duplicate the feat. He quoted facts and figures to prove why it could not be done. Nellie listened attentively, smiled cheerfully and predicted that she | would better Mr. Fogg’s record by five | days or more. M. Verne, appreciat- ing the futility of arguing with a woman, said no more, kissed her on | both cheeks and bid her Godspeed. Rejected Several Proposals. The intrepid Nellie continued on - FURNESS Cruisks| her way, via Brindisi and Suez, and, after a series of thrilling adventures, not to mention a half dozen proposals from importunate suitors, all of which were rejected, arrived back in New York 72 days, 6 hours and 11 minutes after her departure. ‘The story of Nellie Bly's remarkable feat was on every one's lips for months, and her name was recorded indelibly upon history's pages. But Miss Bly's record didn't stand very long.

J. Willis Sayre of Seattle was the next to make the attempt. In 1903 he romped across the finish line in 54 days, 9 hours and 42 minutes. Then, a few months later, Henry Prederick lowered this record to 54 days, 7 hours and 2 minutes—not much of an improvement. Uses Siberian Rallway. man, then entered the contest, and in 1907 reduced Frederick's record by almost two weeks, checking in after 40 days, 19 hours and 30 minutes. His trip was of particular interest, because until then all contestants had made the journey via the Suesz Canal | and around India, touched at Singa- | pore, continued along the China coast to Japan, and from there crossed the Pacific. Col. Campbell utilized the Trans-Siberia Railway, over which a through service had been inaugurated after the Russo-Japanese War, and thus was able to save considerable time, Four years later Andre Jaegar- Schmidt, an Alsatian, tried his hand at the game, also using the Trans- Siberian. Backed by the Paris Ex- celsior, he gave the world a series of fascinating stories recounting his thrilling adventures in lowering the record to 39 days, 19 hours, 42 min- utes and 38 seconds. John Henry Mears, well known New York theatrical producer and one of the two men ever to hold two records for the feat, was the next candidate for world-girdling honors: At 12:43 am. July 2, 1913, Mears dashed down the steps leading from the offices of the New York Sun, caught the Mauretania by a narrow margin and in due time left the vessel at PFishguard, entrained for London, then rushed on to Paris. Although delayed by railway washouts crossing Siberia, special facilities afforded by | the Japanese government enabled him to reach Victoria, B. C,, on schedule. Airplane Enters Competition. Mears flew from Victoria to Seattle (the first time an airplane had been used in a round-the-world race), then rushed across the country by train. He returned to the steps leading into the offices of the New York Sun just four-fifths of a minute later than he had predicted he would arrive—35 days, 21 hours, 36 minutes, 48 seconds previously. As the reader may have surmised by this time, record-making globe- | trotting is something of a disease. It | afflicted me in its most virulent form 22 years ago when I met John Henry Mears as he was passing through Manchuria. I resolved then that some day I would better Mears’ record, but it was not until the Summer of 1926 that I was able to attempt the task. Accompanied by Edward S. Evans of Detroit, I set forth at 1 a.m. June | 16. 1926—and 28 days, 14 hours, 36 minutes, 5 seconds later returned to my starting point. Without exag- geration, it required ingenuity and almost superhuman effort at times to succeed. We were beset by more dif- ficulties than a shad has roe. Air- planes were employed over more than about the only portion of the trip I recall today with any degree of pleasure was the 2,000-mile flight from Moscow to Omsk—the first in the his- tory of the world. For the most part, this flight was made over forests and swamps, miles from the nearest railroad. - A forced landing meant almost certain injury and possible death.

The next record-breaking flight was to traverse both oceans and make Phileas Fogg and the rest of us appear to have traveled on snails, Around in Eight Days Plus. Starting from Roosevelt Field at 4:56 am. June 23, 1931, Wiley Post of Oklahoma and his Australian navi- | gator, Harold Gatty, sped around the world in the breath-taking time of 8 days, 15 hours, 51 minutes, landing at their starting point at 8:45 pm., July 1. Not being content with this record, Post decided to make a solo flight around the world. Hopping from Floyd Bennett Fleld in the same Lockheed Vega, on July 15, 1933, Post latded in Berlin, bucked bad weather across Europe, Russia and Siberia to Khar- barovsk, then jumped to Alaska, and from there roared back to his starting point to hang up & record wkich still stands—17 days, 18 hours, 49’ min- utes.

My answer is, Yes. But I qualify that assertion to | this extent: Their equipment must be adequate; they must be endowed with almost superhuman powers of endurance; they must rely to some degree on assistance from that fickle creature known as Lady Luck. Daily the theories of aero-dynamics are being transferred from the realm of speculation, thus improving the airplane; engines are being developed to a state of higher eficiency and dependability. Therefore, the equip- ment available today is, in a sense, adequate. Let these aspirants for world-gird- ling honors support motor power by & fine co-ordination of human agencies, and with a smile fram the Goddess of Chance they will wing their wi around the globe in four and & half days—or even three.
