SWEDISH ARMY AVIATOR WILL
UNDERTAKE AIR VOYAGE IN
TRIPLANE
TO MAKE TEST IN MAY
Capt. Hugo Sundstedt To Have Per-
sonal Supervision Over Crafts
Construction.

New York, Jan. 6.--Still another
aviator will try the transatlantic
flight by air next spring, if his plans
mature.
He is Capt. Hugo Sundstedt, of the
Swedish army, recently an observer
of aerial developments for his coun-
try on the western battle front. He
will leave for Florida in few days
to supervise the building of a tri-
plane in which he hopes to be the
first to sail across the ocean.
Capt. Sundstedt hopes his machine
will be ready by the middle of Feb
ruary. He will then spend two
months in trial flights and be ready
for the big adventure in May or the
last of April.
He is Sweden's foremost aviator
and holds the record for long dis
lance flight between Stockholm AMI
Paris, a distance of thousand miles,
during which he was obliged to land
but once for fuel.
To undertake to fly across the Al
lantic is no small thing" said Capt.
Sundstedt to-day. Ii is all very well
TO be an expert mechanic and have a
machine that you understand per-
Ieotly. but one of the most impor-
tant factors in the transatlantic flight
is TO be able to find your way. 1t Is
necessary to fly at "A height OF not
less than $4,000 feet because OF the
currents OF air, and at this altitude.
of course. ii is impossible TO distin-
guish ships and use them as a guide.
II is therefore, imperative that the
aviator know something of naviga-
ton SO that he can act as his own
pilot
"The wiud at this height is most
trying, for IL travels at a minimum
velocity OF 100 miles an hour, making
il extremely difficult to control the
machine at all"

those made abroad" he said, but

About fifty prisoners were taken ont

along planks laid on the steel beams.
