New York, April 16.—(UP)—The flight of the German monoplane of why previous attempts to fly castward across the North Atlantic have ended fatally. Almost beyond doubt the answer is that the planes that had started out before went down at sea after in fighting Three Planes Lost airplanes had started from an side to make the flight, cach appeared at sea. Not the slightest word has been revealed of the fate of any of the planes. But with the arrival of the 3remen on the North American side | [ of the Atlantic, her last drop of fuel | | exhausted after a flight of 2,125 miles in 24 hours, little word was needed to picture the tragic fate of her predecessors. Speed of Bremen The Bremen, a specially-built pl#ne of the latest type, was rated with a maximum speed of 130 miles i hour and a cruising speed of 95 to 100, depending on weather condi- | tions. Her crew had expected to make the 3,165-mile flight to New York from Baldonnel, near Dublin, in 36 hours at most—a cruising speed of $8 miles an hour, which al- lowed for adverse winds. Koehl, h commander, believed she had fuel for a 50 hours' flight, though other experts at the field estimated 45 Flew 2,125 Miles nen flew 2,1 , and dropped he miles in fuel ex- hausted, onto Greenley Island. She made but 6 miles an hour. Allowing for the possibility of a | mechanical tailure—such as that | which Ruth nt George Elder down at Haldeman and | sea on their | castward flight—nevertheless it ned she had remained in the air | for 16 hours less than her own crew had estimated she could fly, and she had made miles an hour—a total of @ miles— 1 that time than the most conservative estimate of lier presumed cruising speed igainst bad weather. Veteran Airmen Kochl and Fitzmaurice, of the Bremen, are veterans of the only two previous attempts to fly west- ward across the North Atlantic that, fter getting out to sea, had lived to ! tell about it. Fitzmaurice was with Capt. R. H. McIntosh in the Princess Xenia. She turned back when she was making perhaps 20 miles an hour out off the Irish coast. Koeh! commanded an | carlier Bremen, that turned back | similarly last summer. She was mak- ing at the time three miles an hour. .

The destination of the F-13, which is a sister ship of the Bremen, was Montreal. Fred Meichoir, Junkers pilot, expected to alternate at the controls with Miss Junkers.
