for the German gliding experiment of
today when some twenty years ago
they conducted glider trials along the
sand-swept tongues of land that
punctuate the Atlantic Coast at Kitty
hawk, n. c. Recent investigations
made along the east Prussian shores
of the Baltic Sea had convinced Ger
man pilots that the Frische Neihrung.
a narrow spit of soil extending north
ward from DanZig Free State, will
prove fruitful field for their future
activities
The Neihrung, about forty miles
long and one mile wide, separates the
extensive lagoon known as "Frisches

long strip so breaks the sea winds
that very favorable upward currents
may be found there for their expert

stretch above the Neihrung. The cur

elevation of from 100 to 500 meters
