flight will be accomplished in the near
future. Certainly it will be the great
est feat in aviation, | hope to be
among the first to attempt it, even
though | do not succeed.
Persons talk about the foOlhardi
ness of my upside down flights. If |
thought them fOolhardy ! would not do
them. That is why | say ! would at
tempt transatlantic flight now only
with guarantee Of proper naval pa
troll, because ! am sane enough to de
sire to try it again if ! fail the first
time.
From Il superficial study of the sit
uation | believe that the flight might
now be attempted across the shortest
route, from the west coast of Ireland
to Newfoundland.
A waterplane of sufficient size. an
extraordinarily powerful motor and
wireless equipment could today nego-
tiate large part of the trip without
descending for gasoline. Given fair
weather the craft could rest on the
waves until help arrived, With the
wireless it could keep its whereabouts
known. 1t would be necessary to fly
much faster than the fastest petrol
boats.
AS transatlantic liners would prob
ably be expensive and impracticahIe. |
believe that torpedo boats and de
stroyers would be the best craft OBJ
tainablc If any government wished
to test the possibility sufficiently to
have convoy of such craft, starting
couple of days before the flight and
spreading themselves across the ocean,
| think it would not be long before the
greatest prize of the air would be won. "
