aviators are Edward Stinson and
Lloyd Bertaud. Stinson was in
charge of the plane, assisted by
Bertaud. The aviators took off
at 8:54 a. m. and landed the next
morning at 11:17 a: m. At the
starts of their trip they were con-
fronted by heavy snow storm.
When the storm stopped a high
wind sprang up, and during the
remainder of the flight the
machine was buffeted in gale

Stinson and Bertaud were army
aviators during the war. Stinson's
home is in McKeespor, Pa. Ber-
