Atlantic flight which ended today on the coast of Normandy cost approxi- * mately $180,000 more than the ex- penditures combined for Charles A. . Lindbergh's lonely expedition and the flight of Clarence D. Chamber- ; lin and Charles A. Levine. It was estimated at Roosevelt field today that Rodman Wanamaker, Byrd's backer, spent. $250,000. The cost of Lindbergh's fiight, in- eluding the cost of his Ryan mono- i plane, was estimated at something . under $20,000. i It was understood the Chamberlin- Levine flight cost about $50,000. | For Wanamaker, the flight which ' gell short of Paris represented a total i ynvestment of about $500,000. Plans for s New York-to-Paris flight were made by him in 1914, and these ! fruitless endeavors required an ex- penditure of approximately $250,000 * before Byrd's was ever planned. The Fokker monoplane, America, cost almost $75,000 if the cost of re- pairs after an accident last spring are incluled in the figure. It was estimated at Roosevelt field that the wireless equipment aboard cost $15,000. The runway from which the America departed cost $20,000. Rent at the field was a conslderable amount. Both Lindbergh and Chamberlin used the America’s runway for their departures without charge, Wana- maker placing every available facil- . ity at the disposal of rival fliers. Commander Byrd received no pay for his services, but many mechanics and other experts have been work- ' ing on the America for weeks and : this large crew was paid by Wana- . maker.

Lindbergh also entered France at Trouville. “Ver-Sur-Mer lies among a long “frail of resorts along this section —resorts where many Americans * other than the fiyers have headed each summer.
