TINY SHIP T0 GO AFTER NEW RECORD Wanis Endurance Mark Estab- lished With Refueling of Plane (®)—Com- ir corp's tri- Mardhall, Mo., Dec peting with the army motored plane Question Mark, * tiny 60 horsepower moneplanc with an open’ cockpit will take off here during the first week of the mew year in an effort to set a new en- durance flight record with the aid of re-fueling. tc the luxurious which will carry four men sours aloft at Los Angeles morning in an attempt up 500 or more hours, the ship to be used here will be manned by only two men. Blane M. Tuxhorn, Kansas City pilot, in announcing the fiight today, said when it that his co-pilot would be named ¥ within a few days. While the Question Mark's sup- plies will be replenished by refuel- | ing ships flying above and slightly | ahead, fuel, food and other supplies | will be furnished the ship here by | means of a ground synchronizing cannon, Tuxhorn's invention, which | he has used successtully in picking up & mail cargo. Unprotected Plane Occupants of the Question Mark | will dwell in comparative warmth and comfort within the large cabin whereas Tuxhorn and his compan- jon will be forced to wear near- arctic wraps and face masks to protect them in the unprotected cockpit from the sub-zero weather they expect to encounter. While the present world’s endur- ance record of 60 hours and 7 min- utes, set last June by Adjutant| T.ouls Crooy and Sergeant Victor Groenen of Belgium, is the first goal of Tuxhorn, he raid he hoped 1o remain aloft much longer than that. The Question Mark's flight is designed to determine just how long men afd machines can remain | confinuous flight, and the crew has expectations of from 10 to 13 days' residence aloft.
