10000 MILE FLIGHT
AROUND THE WORLD IS
BEGUN BY 3 AVlAT0RS
Continued from rage one)


northwest, said the party would
explore Iceland and Greenland IL
time permitted.
Not all the air experts who
watched the preparations for the
flight were so optimistic as the
leader. Some thought the DIS
was small and frail for such a
flight and expressed misgivings
regarding the ability of the airmen
to complete the journey.
While Major Blake and his fell
low aviators made their start in a
DH-s airplane their arrange
ments have contemplated the use
of four machines of different
makes for different parts OF the
tourney. Announcements OF their
plans have indicated they hope to
get as far as Calcutta with their
first machine, trayersing the ordi-
nary route to India, by way of
Paris, Rome. Athens. Crete, Alex
andria. Bagdad. Bazra, Karachi
and Delhi, which is Approximately
1000 miles.
on the next stage the use OF a
Faltlc type o, Il sSdPltlle, haS pSS'i
planned. In this machine, fitted
with Il 3s0-horse power Rolls
Royce engine, the airmen would
fly from Calcutta and proceed via
Rangoon, Bangkok, Saigon and
along the Chinese coast to Japan,
Yok ohama and along the Aleutian
islands and the Alaskan coast to
Vancouver.
At Vancouver the plan calls for
change into another DH-9 ma
chine for the crossing of Canada
with a swerye down to Chicago and
thence to New York.
After using this machine for the
flight to Newfoundland the airmen
propose taking up their fourth
machine, an F-3 flying boat with
two 300-horse power Rolls-Royce
engines. and flying in this machine
across Greenland, Iceland and the
Faro islands to Scotland, landing
at Aberdeen.
Major Blake has estimated that
with a bit of luck, he could get
around the world in three months,
spending approximately 500 hours
in the air.
