FLYING RECORDS
OF AER0PLANES
Principal Records Of
Famous Flyers Up
To October 10

Parls--An important point has been /
raised In France on the question of the
validity Of the aeroplane flights. A
performance not officially observed by
the tinekeepers Of the. Aero Club de
France. strictly speaking. cannot rank
as a record. But 1t is claimed that
one carefully timed by competent men
ought to be accredited quite as well
as other aerial performances. Very
New accepted aeroplane flights have
been officially timed. and the uncer-
tainty as to the hour and place at
which the attempts are made renders
II well nigh impossible for Official
Itimekeepers to supervise all the per.
formances, Efforts are being made In
France to increase the number of Aero
Club timekeepcrs. Joint international
action Is recommended
