All AMERICAN ACHIEVEMENT
WASHINGTON, May 2s-The feat
of the seaplane NC-4, which yesterday
achieved the distinction for the Unit
ed States navy of having blazed the
way for transatlantic aerial naviga-
ton when she flew from Ponta Del
gada to Lisbon completing the last
leg of the actual continent to contin-
ent fight, continued to be the chief
topic in naval and official circles here
today In addition to the honor which
history will give to American naval
fiers as the first to fly across the At
lantic, it was with pride that navy
men pointed to the splendid perform
ance of the machine, a purely made
in America" development Without a
mishap Of any kind the NC-4 made the
jump of approximately 900 land miles
from Ponta Delgada to the landing In
Portugal in nine hours and forty-three
minutes, or at the rate Of slightly more
than ninety land miles an hour. Off
cial reports show the fight which
started at 6:18 a. m. washington
time) and ended at 4:01 p. m. (Wash-
ington time).
Resumption Of the fight with Ply
mouth, Eng, as the finish which was
expected today If weather conditions
permitted and it was found the steady
driving of yesterday had left the en-.
gines in good shape, was regarded as
of only secondary Importance when
compared to the fight across the At
lantic, the real object OF all the navy's
efforts. Commander Albert G. Read
and his five companions are eager to
complete the voyage at the earliest
possible moment now that the most
! difficult obstacles to their undertake
ing have been passed. Reports here
showed all of the fliers to be in ex
cellent physical condition despite the
strain they have been under continu
ously for more than two weeks.
The fight from Lisbon to Plymouth
1t was pointed out, will be the least
difficult of any of the legs as practic
ally all the way the seaplane will be
In sight of land, running up the coasts
of Portugal and Spain, thence across
the Bay of Biscay and of the French
coast. The distance is approximate.
75O nautical or 844 land miles an6
