ing a Martin bombing plane from New

flight south from Kansas City Friday,

addition 10 the two commissioned pilots.
The big Martin took off from MinelO
Field Wednesday. making a non
stop flight to Belleville. ILL.,, in five
hours. Thursday the flight was con-
tinued as far as Kansas City, and it
was expected that the last hop would
be made Friday 10 San Antonio. The
plane did not arrive, however. and the
only word received from Lieutenant
Dunton was that the ship was in fine
condition. No word was received Sat
urday at Kelly Field.
The arrival of the Martin bomber
will make two planes of that type at
Kelly Field. Two others are now at
the Air Intermediate Depot and will
probably be set up and delivered to
Kelly Field in the near future.
