After spending more than $200,000 {in 1914 in a vain effort to build & | flylng boat powerful enough ‘for a cross-seas flight, Wanamaker financ- ed the projected flight of Comman- der Richard E. Byrd. Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars h&s already been spent on the new expedition, designed to ob- lof development of trans-oceanic travel by air. The costs of the Wan- amaker enterprise greatly exceed the $25,000 flight of Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh and the $50,000 expedition ‘o( the Bellanca monoplane, Colum- bia. The America alone cost between $70,000 and $80,000 and other thous- ands'were spent on hundreds of de- talls to aid the efficiency and safety of the project. A sloping runway which allows an advantage equiva- lent to 500 feet of take-off distance has been built at ‘oouvelt field, where Captain Rene®Fonck, French aviator, ended in disaster his effort ago. - Fonck is expecting delivery of plans a second effort to span the dis- tance to-Paris. An elaborate scheme for weather observation has been established by the Byrd expedition. Men have been sent abroad to arrange with foreign weather bureaus and government ex- perts for advice and information while experts here are in daily con- sultation with the flight commander. Some of the foremost figures in | aviation comprise the ecrew. With Commander Byrd will be Bert Acos- [ ta, joint holder with Clarence Cham- | berlin of the world's endurance re- cord; Lieut. George Novillp, decorat- ed for bravery while flying for Italy | duping the world war and former superintendent of the United States air mail service, and Bernt Balchen, formerly a lieutenant in the Norwe- glan navy and a member of the Amundsen polar expedition in 1926. Balchen, 1-hose selection as a fourth member of the crew was announced yesterday, rendered valuable aid to Byrd befors the commander flew over the north pole two years ago. A ‘north Atlantic storm, in the path which Byrd hopes to travel, prohibited a takeoff again yesterday, and indicated that a start would not be made until tonight or tomor- row, at the earliest.

He plotted out a course that will take him somewhat south of the great circle route over which Lindbergh and Chumberlin flew. 2 In deviating from the great circle, Byrd hopes to secure atmospheric advantages. The last part of the route will be over the steamer lanes. Byrd, however, will jeave the North Amer- fcan continent at the spot in Nétw.
