the course by prominent points. How
ever, the air was extremely rough and
so hazy that objects over two miles
away could not be distinguished. Ac-
cordingly, after following a compass
course west until the Santa Fe rail-

until 6:37, when we landed. The to-

facts-that Milling and Sherman had

record for pilot and passenger, as well
as new American distance record
for pilot and passenger and that they
came within 12 minutes of the worlds
record for endurance.
The distance between Texas City

Milling covered the distance there and
