advance officers of the actual pilots
themselves in case of emergency.
+. Z. Small, president of the
American Express company, extended
official cooperation with all Ameri-
can express offices throughout tho
world.
A vital feature Of preparation was
the pathfinding expedition of two Of
ficers TO go over the most difficult
portions of the route. Lieut.. c. L.
Crumrine covered the territory from
Hull, England, TO Montreal, with par
ticular attention to Greenland, where
two landings must be made, one on
the east coast and one on the west
coast, under the most difficult condi-
tons. Lieut.. Clifford G. Mutt was
sent to the Philippine Islands, then
to the Asiatic mainland to make pre-
liminary arrangements following
courtesies extended by the govern
ments of Japan, China, Great Britain,
France. etc. Both of these officers,
together with First Lieut.. st. Clair
Street,. were members of the flying
expedition which Lieutenant STREET.
commanded from Washington TO
Nome, Alaska, several years ago.
Upon the data returned from
Lieutenants Crumrine and Mutt, to-
gether with that provided by other
air service officers and air attaches
throughout the world, q. detailed
study of the route was made in the
office of the chief air service. The
United States Coast Guard obtained
data on facilities between Seattle,
Wash, and Attu Island in the
Aleutian group. which is the point
of departure of the' flight from the
United States possessions.
How the Flight Is Divided.
In order TO assure the availability
of every possible facility for the use
of this flight, special attention is be-
ing given to the weather conditions
throughout the route. The proposed
airwav around the world has been
subdivided into six divisions: First
Division beginning at Los Angeles,
and ending at Attu Island in the
Aleutian group; Second Division, end
ing ut Shemulpo. Korea: Third Di-
vision ending Mt Calcutta, India
Fourth Division ending at San
Stefano: Fifth Division, ending at
London (HulD, England; Sixth Di-
vision, ending at Los Angeles. It is
proposed TO have one advance officer
cover each section Of this route to
obtain detailed information on land
ing facilities on land or water trans
portation, airways, meteorological and
climatic conditions and other pertin-
ent subjects. He will make arrange
ments for the passage of the flight
through the territory to which he is
assigned.
Supplies will have to be shipped
from the United States to various
points on the route several months in
advance of the flight, and for this
purpose each division will have main
depot with one or more sub-depots for
major items of supply. Gasoline, oil
and smaller articles OF supply will
be placed at practically all steps. The
longest hop, according to the present
plans. will be from Attn Island 10
Paramishiru Island, in the northern
part of the Kurile Island group, a
possession of Japan. Other long hops
will be necessary over the Atlantic
Ocean between the Farce Islands and
Iceland: between Iceland and Green
land. and between Greenland and
northern Canada, the longest of these
being about 200 miles.
