d. Although not mentioning by name
Colonel VIM. Mitchell he made clear that
in his opinion the navy department. was
not guilty of amateur bungling" of
plans for the polar trip. n
These planes" he said, ARE un-
doubtedly the best for the work They
are the best amphibian planes in the
world and up there both wheels and
boat are most desirable"
He asserted that with more time and
better season the center of the unex-
plored region in the polar sea could be
reached by airplane. "There is no part
Of the world that cannot be conquered
by aircraft he said. The idea Of the
trip was not to make sensational,
