also that 1t might be deemed an ex-

WASHINGTON, June 21.-Estab-
lishmept of an air route to Europe
from thes United States to bring the
fun force of the American effort In
the air TO bear against Germany has
been decided upon as definite prof.
ect by the British air council. the
new ofsanizatlon into which all
British air service has been merged.
That was disclosed today by Nal.
Gen. William Brancker, controller
of equipment OF the council.
Plans for an initial flight across
the Atlantic in August, September
or October of this last year are al
ready well advanced. ." American
cooperation is sought and General
Brancker hopes the first machine
10 make the crossing will carry both
British and American pilots. Sew
eral types OF machines produced In
England have ample fuel capacity
for the forty hours of flying, II is
estimated the trip would take.
American Attitude Not Disclosed.
The attitude of the American gov
ernment toward the project has not
been disclosed, although General
Brancker laid stress on the fact
that the sole purpose of the trip was
to blaze a new trail to Europe over
which American aircraft can be de-
livered next year without taxing
shipping. Presumably 1t arises from
the fixed purpose of the British
ministry to carry the bombing war
fare into Germany on steadily in
creasing scale until not n vital spot
in the German empire Is safe from
allied raiders,
Secretary Baker said no army
aviators had yet been assigned to
work in conjunction with the Brit
ish. Successful navigation of the
air TO Europe is to be hoped for. he
said. but no definite plan to at
tempt It Is now before the govern
ment officials
To Inject Rivalry.
Many officers believe it would be
wise to inject an element of friend
ly rivalry into the effort to be first
TO make the flight. They argue that
since the real value of the plan de-
pends upon the ability of American
built night bombers and American
pilots to cross the ocean. the initial
effort should he partially, at least.
an American enterprise.
It. .is expected the initial flight will
be made this autumn in n machine
of British make, probably n seaboat
starting from Newfoundland and
touching at the Azores and Portu-
gal. before arriving in Ireland. 1t
has been estimated the trip can be
made in 40 hours of flying. Plans
under consideration call for crews
of four men. composed of an en-
Eneer, a relief Of pilots and a navi-
eating officer.
