The flying armada, com- manded by Lieutenant Com- -mander Donald H. Carpen- iter and a carrying crew of (86 officers and men, may ‘again take the air from the ‘Canal Zone for 3,000 miles ‘more to San Diego. All is still a matter of conjecture thus far. Upon arrival at the sup- posed-to-be destination, the craft may yet be ordered to maneuvers in other sections, as no definite program has been determined as yet as to the activities of this flying Squadron.
