known here without incident. 1t was
evident that the fliers knew their
whereabouts with reasonable accuracy
at all times in daylight or darkness.
Observers here who checked the
course CT the To on the map esti-
mated the distance traversed at up
ward Of 200 miles. which agrees
with the calculation made by the tiiers
themselves. The previous nonstop
record for heavier than air machines
IS about / 800 miles. The time required
was estimated at a little over 25
hours. and the speed Of the plane al
an average of more than IS miles
