FLIES 1000 MILES
AT llOPER HOUR
Officer Who Stopped Here Be-
lieved To Have Set
Record

Major Roy &c. Geiger, of the Ma
rine corps, is believed to have broken
the record for time and long-distance
North and South flying last Friday
between Quantico, Virginia, and Pen
sacola, Fla, in a D. H. D.-4 Marine
corps type plane with Liberty mo-
tor.
Major Geiger left Quantico, thirty
miles south of Washington, at 4:40
a. M and arrived at Pensacola at
a. m. in the afternoon. The time
I included approximately two house of
stop-over, making the actual flying
time less than nine hours. The trip
was made at an average speed of
10 miles an hour over a distance
estimated at 1000 miles.
Two stops were made, the first at
the Army Aviation Field at Fayette-
vile, N. c., for and hour and half.
During that time the plane and motor
were inspected and oil, gas and water
obtained. The second stop was at
Souther Field, for about half an hour
while the tanks of the machine were
being recharged with gas. Major
Geiger carried Sergeant John Belch-
err with him on the trip and about
fifty pounds of baggage.
Experts at Marine corps aviation
headquarters at Washington now say
that Major Geiger's time was I'M
doubtedly the fastest ever accomp-
ished between Quantico and Pensa-
cola, where the country to be covered
is broken and difficult to negotiate.
They said the speed for the journey
was phenomenal and they believe
that Major Geiger may have broken
the worlds record for speed over that
distance.
Major Geiger stopped at Souther
Field this morning on his return trip
to Quantico.
