Biggest Stunt Left Yet
for the World to Do

in 1919-and the real reason, accord
ing to Capt Fonck:
"It's the biggest stunt left to do
in the world today"
The first transatlantic flight in
1919 was made by Capt John AL
cock and Lieut. Arthur Brown, who
bsequently was llnighted for his
galantry on the expedition. The
British flyers took off from New
Brunswick, Canada, and flew 1880
miles in 16 hourse, crashing at Cliff
den, ireland, wrecking their plane,
/ but escaping themselves.
Two dirigibles, the Los Angeles and
/ the British R-34 also have crossed
the Atlantic, while several flights
notably that of the N-64, U S. Navy
I have been made by hops of severa'
hundred miles each.
| OF all the flyers, Fonck believes
he is best equipped. He is using
giant biplane, several times larger
, than standard, designed by Count Igor
Sikorsky-the Russian who formerly
built planes for the Garland built
at Roosevelt field, Long Island, un-
der Fonck's personal supervision.

tip to tip, with wing area of ap-
proximately 1000 square feet. 1t
carries $500 gallons of gasoline
enough to drive the motors 1000 miles

This gives 200 miles margin, and

to take off, the winds will be will

Float Three Days.
Z If forced down, Foncll estimate:
his plane will Float for three or foul
days on ouoyancy supplied by empt!
gasoline tanks.

chance to escape alive IS to summon
aid by wireless.
The plane carries a small, efficien
radio set designed by Charles CIavie

placed, so that they looked out at
the glittering hosts of tiny moon

dark, silent army of pine trees on
the opposite bank.
The man and the girl advanced
slowly along the wooden walk.
Soon they reached the sloping
bridge and, descending it, sat
down in the chairs. For a moment
there was silence-a silence bro

through the pine trees, the waves
tapping against the float and the
creaking of a loose board. Finally
it was the girl who spoke,
