TRANS ATLANTIC FLIGHT SEEMS NEAR
(Philadelphia Public Ledger)

A French aviator, Letort has just flown 590 miles without stop; and, simultaneously, another arman covered 600 miles in less than nine hours the rate of about seventy-fve miles hour, including stop. These feats seem to point to transatlantic flight achievement near at hand. Nj. Des Mounais, in his 933 mile Paris Warsaw flight last June, made number of stops, but the actual ten hours of flying gave him rate ninety-threc miles hour It is 1900 miles from the coast of Brazil to the coast of Africa; Ireland and Newfoundland but f75O miles apart. When recalls the first endurance tests of automo bies and the pioneer flights of few yards by the Wright brothers Kitty Hawk, N C., the in crease in length of a nonstop flight from 590 to 1900 1150 miles appears ot be probability of the future. Moreover, with the further deVel- opment of the hydro aeropIane the chances of cessful crossing vastly bettered. At the rate maintained by Des Moulnais the distance from Ire land Newfoundland could be covered in under nineteen hours The marvels of aviation scarce ly beyond the initial chapter in the thrilling of transportation.
