the way porpoises swim The Austria

stroke and FOR many years Australians
were supreme In that branch OF ath-

The superiority Of the crawl over
other strokes lies I'm the fact that 1t
gives the least possible resistance TO
the water
From modern records It is estimated
that the crawl stroke has cut on 2u

this would represent a tuning up period, certain
preliminary flying and the actual journey from
America to Europe. This leaves margin safety
OF ITO hours.
But this reserve has another significance for it
can be converted into terms of military activity
when once machine of this sort has reached the
other side. From desirable point in the British
Isles to Kel, for instance, the distance is in the
neighborhood Of 375 miles, and assuming actual
progress of ninety miles hour, a raid upon Ger
many s naval stronghold would involve an outward
and return journey of $50 miles, or, allowing for
some contingencies, total flight of 83 hours

plane of this character would be able to perform
thirteen raids on Kiel and drop ten tons of bombs.
Must Strip 1t of Military Gear.
But while such the ultimate offensive possi-
bilites of the 1915 Handley-Page model as typifed
by the Langley still to cross the Atlantic the
chine would have to be stripped of its military fea
lures and supplied in their stead with an extra
tank for fuel On the other hand, the 1918 model
of the Handley-P Page super bombing plane, design
already in service abroad, would make the trip to
Europe with its complete military load and effect
the flight to the Azores in from three to six hours
quicker time than the 1915 pattern 1t would carry
four times the weight of bombs, three times the
number of guns and twice the number of men pos
sible with the Langley and would arrive lover
there" ready for aggressive work.
The purpose of crossing the Atlantic in flight is
not to provide spectacle, but to serve the very
practical end of getting to the other side of the
ocean in the shortest possible time hundreds of big
bombing airplanes. 1t has been urged that we
build between now and the first of May next year
10000 Handley Page machines and deliver them at
or near the western front by that time.
Manifestly, apart from the problem of quantity
production, delivery would involve great task in
the way Of water transportation. According to
some estimates 3,25OOOO tons of shipping would be
required to carry 10000 airplanes Of this type or
the equivalent of 1925 10000 ton steamships. This
is not 50 much because of the weight involved a.

By ROBERT C. SKERRETT.

ssTHE war in Europe has made transatlan-
tic flight possible. Indeed it might rea-
sonably be said that there is need for a perform
ance of that sort Transatlantic flight should GER
tainly be attempted at the earliest practicable mo-
ment and there is no insurmountable mechanical
obstacle in the way of such demonstration"
Such is the view of an authority whose interest
in the proposal is entirely free from any CONNER
cial connection. Continuing he said:
Success might easily mean more than most peo-
pie realize toward helping to win the war. test
of this nature would be convincing evidence Of the
present climax in the building of aggressive fight
ing airplanes, and aircraft of this kind may yet
prove the deciding factor in turning the tide of
battle conclusively in our favor.
Great War Value of Overseas Flight
aerial supremacy will in the end hinge upon
the radius of action of the battling flying machine.
There is manifest need of aircraft capable of bear
ing aoft great weights and able to travel very long
distances without replenshment Of operative sup
plies The potentialities of type of airplane
tested by transatlatic flight would be indSputa-
Bile, and the tactical strategic value would be
well nigh incalcuable
Finally, what one machine could do hundreds,
yes, thousands, could initiate, and just think of
what this would mean in the way of delivering
speedily large number of these fighting craft
'Over There
But for the war the transatlantic flight might
have been made before this time In 1914 Glenn II.
Curtiss was getting ready to make an attempt at it
with his double engined flying boat America, which
was then deemed to be little less than an aerial
giant. His plans were brought to a halt through
the outbreak of the war and the recall to England
of Lieut. John Cyril Porte of the British navy, who
was to have navigated the Curtiss airplane.
Since then the necessities of conflict have COM
PEELED revolutionary developments in airplanes of
all sorts, and the demands for sustained flight and

bomb carrying capacity have brought in their train
the evolution of the Russian Skodsky, the British
Handley-Page, the Italian Caproni and the well
known Curtiss types of fers. Each one of them
has brought transatlantic fight nearer, and to-day
the Handley Page people, with machine recently
constructed at Elizabeth, N. j., are ready to at
tempt the long aerial journey the Atlantic.
The better part of year ago Major R. Perfetti,
then in the United States, proposed that Caproni
triplane, equipped with three powerful motors,
should fly from Italy to the United States, starting
from Genoa and landing first in Spain, then flying
to the Azores and thence the Atlantic to Hal
flax. To-day the Caproni people are just as keen
to span the Atlantic but by beginning from point
on our eastern coast.
The fact that manufacturers and designers are
now confident that such trip is practicable is con-
vncing evidence of the tremendous strides made in
the art within four years. The America was, when
built, novelty in many particulars When loaded
she weighed 5000 pounds and had a maximum
wing spread of seventy-four feet. In still air it
estimated that the craft would make anywhere
from sixty two to sixty-ive miles an hour.
To-day, according to published figures, the giant
Handley-Page and the great Caproni bombing and
fighting planes have wing spreads from twenty-fy
to sixtyve feet greater than that of the America

and 125 miles an hour.
Claim Nonstop Run Of $50 Hours.
Further, their powerful engines make it posi-
BILE for them to lift astonishing loads. The Lang
ley, the 1915 pattern of the Handley- Page type,
weighs when loaded 1900 pounds and is said to be
able to carry a crew of three and 1000 pounds of
bombs So nearly perfect is mechanical workman
ship of both that the Caproni and the Handley-
Page people claim a straightaway running life of
$50 hours before there is need of overhauling the
motors.
A working period of $50 hours, especially at the
speeds possible with either of these types, is far in
excess of that called for in transatlantic flight.
According to the experts the total service likely to
be demanded would not exceed forty hours, and
