CRIPPLED WINGS, FIRE, ENGINE
TROUBLES DELAY OCEAN TRIP

Many setbacks and disappointments
have been met by the leading aviators
Of the world in their efforts to make
the first transatlantic flight.
The failures which have beset the
flyers in making their attempts are
described in the New York Tribune.
To the three seaplanes Of the United
States Navy only has preliminary sue
cess been granted by tickle fortune,
setbacks due to defective machinery.
The NC-1. first of the Nays transat-
lantic seaplanes, is the only aircraft
that has gone through every flight
without mishap, but she, too. has sus-
tanned two serious accidents while on
the ground.
The NC-1 is by far the most roman
tic of all the ocean flyers. She is at
tempting to fly across the Atlantic
with odd wings. The upper and lower
were originally built on the NC-2. which
was early eliminated from the flight.
Her two right wings are her own.
Lost Wings; Then Fire Came.
/ It was early in March that the NC-1
lost her own left wings. She was
-moored in Jamaica bay, when a sud-
den gale drove her on to the beach
and crippled both left wings.
"Hcu II was OeCiucu 10 UTOp the
NC-2 from the fight both sets of
wings from that ship were placed on
the NC-1. The right wings of the NC-1
were stored away.
The night before the scheduled
start from Rockaway a fire started in
the NC-1 hanger. The fire destroyed
the right wing Of the NC-1 and the
lower elevator OF the net.
The original right wings Of the
NC-1 were put back on within twelve
hours weeks work being accom-
plished within that period. The lower
elevator of the discarded NC-2 made
good the loss on the NC-4.
When the start was finally made for
Halifax, the NC-4 was compelled to
descend because of failure Of her oil
pumps. This defect put her engines
out of commission one after another.
The other two ships succeeded in
making Halifax. but in the fight from
Halifax to Newfoundland. the NC. 3
was compelled to descend with pro-
peller trouble, although she was able
to complete the trip later in the day.
The NC-1 made the trip without mis-
hap.
