Before the flight, all the pilots ask

Due to the nature of the work,
which engaged the expedition, the
fleet required period of three months
to complete the trip. Since all of the
original motors completed the journey
without repairs or requirements, this
is believed to be a record for aerial
navigation. II will be recalled that
during the war, II was generally the
practice to overhaul the airplane mo-
tors after approximately each twenty
