and the distance covered $500 miles.
The NC-4 was built especially for
the transatlantic flight. 1t represents
a wholly original American develop
ment. Designed by Rear-Admiral d.
w. Taylor. Chief Constructor Of the
Navy. 1t was intended for use in put
ting down the submarine menace. Had
the German submarines gained the
upper hand in 1918, the war would
still be going on and great flying boats
of the type of the NC-4 would be
making trips across the Atlantic to
the centers of submarine activity.
America has great reason to be
proud of herself during the last few
years. An American explorer discov-
cred the North Pole after explorers
from other countries failed; similar
instances both great and small nay
be cited. The present climax gives
cause for satisfaction in Amer
lean achievement.
Despite the perfection of construc-
tion which the NC-4 has demonstrated,
problems still arise to be solved before
transatlantic air routes will come to
be extensively patronized by the pub
lie.

come to be the method of navigating
a plane across the ocean. according to
Captain Francis.
Wind is an element of paramount
importance to successful transatlantic
fight. In the northerly route which
lays between Newfoundland and Ire
land, the prevailing direction of the
wind is from west to east; this factor
helps aviators to the extent that they
may cut three or four hours from the
time that would be required to travel
the same route in still air. The winds
of the southerly route blow westward,
making 1t impractieable in the pres
ent state of aircraft development to
follow this route. From these facts it
would appear hat the most favorable
trip to Europe could be made along
the northern route, and that the most
favorable return trip from Europe
could be made by southern route.
Future or Trans-oceanic Service
The Pacific will probably be the
next ocean to conquer, and the trip
across it by aeroplane can be accom-
plished with ships stationed at inter-
walls to supply direction and fuel. the
same as owe the Atlantic.
So, looking forward. even to the
time when the lighter-than-air ma
chine makes the nonstop journey
across the oceans a mere hop of
twenty-four hours duration and less,
we see the oceans cease to function
as obstacles to inter-continental COM
munication at short notice.
The coasts along the oceans will
come to be dotted with piers and sta
lions. The t-rans-oceanic planes will
be fitted with commodious buses for
passengers and will be advertising for
passengers to ride between New York
and Liverpool, without any stopover
privileges along the route whatsoever.
The future significance of the per-
fected trans-oceanic plane in time Of
war car hardly be measured at this
time; but 1t is a formidable thought to
consider the possibilities of its use for
carrying high explosives and bombs.

Captain Francis points out that at

to last for the trip overseas and TO
make the trip must be dependent on
supply stations established regularly
at sea.

we would pretty soon be in a position
to popularize transatlantic flight. An
other great difficulty causing more
trouble than fuel carrying space is
the lack of accurate navigation instru-

knowledge of the science of naviga-

of the difficulties experienced in
adapting instruments of navigation to
the plane. The sextant has not yet
been accurately installed in airplanes;
the objection to it lies in the fact that
the navigator should have a clear
view of the horizon while using it and
this is not possible at the altitude at
which trans-oceanic fiers make their
trip. Directional wireless also has its
drawback. for in order to supply the
wireless wave ships must be stationed

Arctic expeditions.
On July 2, 1917, The Akron set forth
from Atlantic City on Its transatlantic
trip, with Vaniman himself. acting as
engineer. In less than one-half hour
the d~irigible was totally destroyed by
an explosion, due to fire or other factor
not definitely determined. The exact
cause will always be open to conjecture
because Vaniman and his crew of four
went to their death. His perseverance

Frenchman, had crossed the English
Channel in his ~monoplane from Bar

ing the trip in 81 minutes.
The United States Government was
planning to transport mail to Alaska
by means of the aeroplane. The dream
of magnificent airships plying across
the Atlantic in the service of travel and
trade, crossing in a few days by reg
ular routes. was but another natural
outgrowth from the exploits of avia-
tors with their safe and perfect types
of monoplanes and b~iplanes, in which
they were accomplishing startling rec

transatlantic fight has been the
ambition of birdmen ever since dreams
OF air conquest became realities OF
every day life. The history OF the
growth of this daring desire and the
perilous ventures made by men in try.
ing to bring it TO realization provide
an engrossing story.
In 1900 when Count Zeppelin, whose
name has since come to bear a sinister
meaning for mankind, developed the
first notable airship of all times and
established a means of regular pas
senger travel, he planted a seed of
speculation in the minds of all inter-
ested scientists. These seeds rapidly
grew to q full grown belief in the pos
sibility of long aerial journeys. Forth
with aviators began to try to demon

The successes OF the Zeppelin dirigi-
BILE In Europe stimulated Walter Well
man, an American journalist and ex-
plorer, to make a spectacular attempt
at long sustained flight. His expert
ment was the first trial on record to
cross the Atlantic by air route.

City as a starting point, Mr.. Wellman
set out in his dirlgible. The America,
on the initial transatlantic flight. This
airship embodied a number of new
features and was a credit to its build
