 This would make the actual flying time of the NC-4 in it's record ing journey overseas 54 hours 6 minutes, and the distance covered 3.900 miles.

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 may be cited. The present climax gives another cause for satisfaction in Amer ican achievement.
 Despite the perfection of construc- ton 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.

 tho sensation of the hour. The
 spirit of daring that has always V characterized aeronautical enter p'ise has about reached its zenith in the achievement of the Navy plans of the United States and the heroic en- deavor O: Harry Hawker.
 Transatlantic flight 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 1t to realization provide an expressing story.
 In 1900 when Count Zeppelin, whose name has since come to bear sinister meaning for mankind. developed the first notable alrship of all times and established q 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 a full grown belief in the pos sibiiity of long aerial journeys. Forth with aviators began to try to demon strate it.
 The successes of the Zeppelin dirigi- ble in Europe stimulated Walter We'll man. an American journalist and ex- plorer, to make a spectacular attempt at long sustained flight. His experi- ment was the first trial on record to cross the Atlantic by air route.
 On October Is. 1910. with Atlantic City as a starting point. Mir. weIlman set out in his dirigible. The America. on the initial transatlantic flight. This airship embodied a number of new features and was a credit to its build CTS in originality of design and con structlon. T. was cigar shaped. The length was 22S feet and it had a lift ing capacity Of 23.65O pounds. The engines and the propellors were cal culated to give a speed of 26 miles an hour with both engines working. and a crossing in six days was planned. The most unique part of the equipment was a so-called equilibrator. corresponding to the drag rope of an ordinary bal

not yet reached the destined goal Of aeronautics by the fact that a flying boat has crossed the Atlantic aided by ships stationed at certain intervals so that the pilot cannot run out of fuel or get lost. He says, We have yet to accomplish the safe and sane nonstop flight across the pond by aeroplanes.
 Captain Francis points out that at present the heavier than air machines cannot store away sufficient gasoline
 to last for the trip overseas and to make the trip must be dependent on supply stations established regularly at sea.
 T don't believe this difficulty will hold us up very long, he said, "with the way they are developing airpIanes in France, England. Italy and America
 If it were fuel carrying space alone, 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- ments. At present there are three
 methods of navigating a plane on the ocean. In two Of the three methods stars, sun and moon must take the place of landn arks; the last method Is py i4itetIS OL IlGNiSdLlOn ments."
 After pointing out that flying over the ocean necessitates a first-rate knowledge of the science of naviga-
 ton, Captain Francis m mentioned some of the difficulties experienced in adapting instruments of navigation to the plane. The sextant has not yet been accurately installed in airplanes: l 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 fliers make their trip. Directional wireless also has it's drawback, for in order to supply the wireless waves ships must be stationed at certain places in the ocean, and
 this wopld be but slight improvement
 over having the ships there so that a plane might descend to get direc-
 ton from the sailors. The combin ed
 use of the sextant and the telescope, the mechanism of which obviates the necessity of seeing the horizon, will

zines and compared favorably with the large dirigibles of Europe. It was really the first American constructed dirigible, for MT. Wellman's machine has been originally built in France for Arctic expeditions.
 On July 2, 1917, The Akron set forth from Atlantic City on it's transatlantic trip, with Vaniman himself, acting as engineer. In less than one-half hour the dirigible 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 gives him claim to be one of the martyrs of the history of air domina- tion.
 Growth Of The Transatlantic Idea
 By this time the aeroplane was sup planting the dirigible and establishing itself as the most effective medium of mechanical flight. Louis Bleriot, the Frenchman, had crossed the English Channel in his monoplane from Bar aques to Dover on July 25, 1909, mak- ing the trip in S1 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 biplanes, in which they were accomplishing startling rec ords of altitude and speed.

 and Kept the balloon at even height. The America drifted out to sea on the appointed date, carrying a lifeboat 27 feet long, plentifully stocked with provisions and suspended by a self-re- leasing hook, so that by slashing
 rope it could be released instantly. The equilibrator followed the airship like
 a sea serpent; it pounded against the waves and made steering difficult. The weather was unfavorable. Within five hours MT. Wellman met with failure of the engine, which was fol- lowed by other misfortunes. The crew was forced to abandon the airship and
 take refuge on a passing steamer after
 being in the air T F hours and sailing, or drifting a distance of about 1000
 miles, in a northeast direction toward the north steamship, both of which figures were records for dirigibles.
 The only aim mad been to get across the Atlantic and land in Europe or
 even Africa, so these records-encour- aging though they were-did not miti-
 gate the disappointment of the failure
 of the exploit. Mir. Wellman is quoted as having said that he would make an- other attempt when omething was found to do what he expected of the equilibrator. MT. Melvin Vaniman, the designer of The America, admitted that the equilibrator was too heavy and placed the blame for defeat on the
 lack of power to drive the airship against heavy winds.
 The Second Attempt
 Mir. Vaniman, designer and chief en- gineer of The America, decided to make another attempt on his own ac- count. He designed a new and larger airship which embodied original ideas as well as established features resulting from previous European experience. The Akron, as he named it, was built the following year with powerful en-
