BRITONS SELECTED FOR WORLD FLIGHT REVEALTHERPLAN Maj. Blake and Capt. McMillan Who Flew to.Morocco Will Seek New Venture, Copyright, 1922 (New York Evening World), _ by Press Publishing Company. LON » April 28.—Major Ww. T. Blake, of the British RoyatAir Force, and Capt. Norman MacMillan, who flew with him to Morocco last year, _ -Sre the two men who will attempt to ctrole the world by airplane. ‘The fact that prominent British air men had obtained backing to. carry ‘ont the plans of the late Sir Ross Smith have already been éabled. The organizations wich was behind Sir _Ross—Vickers Acro, Ltd., the Napier Engine Company, the Shell Gasoline Company and the Wakefield Oil Com- Vickers will be unable to build av airplane in time for the trip to start in the latter part of Mhy, ag Major lake desires, but hepes to obtain one from the British Air Ministry. Fatl- ing im that there is a machine that lins been offered that willbe available or immediate use. It is capable of ing on land and water. . “The route I propose to follow," Major Blake said, “will be through Frafice, Italy and Gréece,- then to Egypt and Mesopotamia, then to India and down the coast of Burmah and Cambodia, through Eastern China to Japan, ‘Thence by way of-the Aleu- tian Islands I will fly to Alaska and then through Cahada and the United States to New York. “From New York I will ga to New- foundiand and cross the Atlantic by «say of Greenland, Iceland and Scot; lund. The distance travelled will bé 80,000 miles. “My route differs from that of Sir Ross in respect to Burmah and the Atlantic. It is so arranged that the longest sea passage will be only a lit- tle more than 800 miles and meteoro- ical conditions are likely to be more ‘orable for the flight I pvopose to start about the end of May and expect to take two months in completing the flight. We will carry a gasoline supply sufficient to carry us 1,500 miles, which is nearly double our longest sea flight and the machine will be fitted with wireless. “One of the Napier engines will be fitted in the machine at the start of the flight; another will be sent ahead for us to Japan, and a third will be sent to Canada. “We shall carry a motion picture camera to take pictures for a syndi- (eate which is helping to finance the flight and we intend to make it pay its way. _ “*We shall reduce our personal bag- gage to a bare minimum, but in ad- dition to the ordinary food supplies we shall carry, emergency, rations for three days. ee SESS AN ALLURING BID FOR Capt.
