The Zeppelin was inspected by the
Associated Press correspondent and
was found to be intact, as were also the
machinery and Instruments. This is
the first time during the war that a
Zeppelin has been brought down COM
piete and an opportunity was given to
number of American officers to in
spect the craft. They. together with
French flying men. spent many hours in
gaining knowledge which heretofore
has been jealousy protected by the
Germans.
The machine was driven down with
her nose resting on the edge Of the
main road and the stern in the pine
trees on a hill. Fully half the craft
lay across little valley thirty feet
from the ground. The only visible
break in the structure consisted of
tears in the outer skin caused by the
trees. The whole body of the Zeppe-
lin is painted black. except on top.
which is silvered. There is a small
German cross on either side amidships.

The two officers and nineteen men
who were taken prisoners were the

| in their best. walked. drove or rode

airship and the prisoners.

AIRMAN FLIES 1926 MILES
IN HOURS, II MINUTES
Lieut.. Resnati, in Caproni Biplane,
Makes Record Trip, Carrying
Eight Passengers.

MINEOLA, N. z, October 23.-Carry-
ing eight passengers. Lieut.. Sylvia
Resnati arrived at the government
aviation field here in his Caproni BIZ
plane at 4:21 o'clock yesterday after
noon, completing a flight OF about 325
miles from Hampton, Va, in four hours
and eleven minutes. An erroneous re-
port of his arrival was sent out earlier
According 20 officials of the Aero Club
Of America. the flight breaks all rec
ords in the United States for machines
carrying two or moro passengers: In
1916 a fight was made by a pilot and
two passengers from Newport News to
Sheepshead Bay. N. Y, a distance
about twenty miles shorter than Lieut.
Resnati's achievement. The only flight
with as many as eight passengers
made in this country before, the club S
records show, was between Newport
News and Baltimore.
Resnati did not use a triplant in
making the trip, as intended. This
machine. 1t was explained upon arrival
here, has not yet been assembled at
Hampton, but will be used on a trip
to be made soon over the same route
The large biplane which Resnati pilot
ed yesterday has a spread of eighty
five feet. while that of the triplane is
more ahan 100 feet in breadth. Each is
equipped with three motors and pro-
pellers.
Accompany Resnati were Capt
Cappi. Lieut.. A. Tantonio, Corp. a. G.
Angelic. of the Italian army; Capt. A
w. Hill. Lieut.. L. w. Pollock and
Lieut.. Erickson of the United States
Army. and Giovano Masso and F. Fran
cisco Galletti. The return to Hampton
will be made within a few days.
