Paris. May 27-(AP)-Captain
Lindbergh found time in the
midst Of his busy days pro-
gram to visit the American
church Of the Holy Trinity early
this afternoon and leave wreath
AS a simple tribute to the Amer
lean aviatOrs who gave their
lives in the world war.
Paris, May 27.---tR) Captain Lind
r'bergh flew over rat4Asy in. a. French
plane for more than an hour this
morning. During the flight he paid
homage to Frances unknown soldier
flying over the tomb in the Arc de
Triomphe in graceful curves and
descending ut one time to. within
$50 feet of the hallowed spot.
When he returned to the airport
at lie Bourget after his flight over
Paris. Captain Lindbcrgh went
through series of aerial acrobatics
that delighted military aviators
gathered to watch him. One Of the
stunts was sham aerial battle with
IA plane piloted by Sergeant de Troyat,
who had followed him on his flight.
The flight was carried out with
out the knowledge of the general
public and few saw the plane over
Paris guessed that the hero was once
more in his favOrite element.
Flew New Model Plane
The flyer was the guest Of Colonel
Poly -Marchetti, commandant of the
34th regiment of aviation, who furn,
ished him with one of the newest
Of 35O-horsepower military scout
plane.
1t was the first time Lindbcrgh
had flown in this type Of plane,
yet he made perfect ascent and
landing, winning the admiration of
everyone who watched him at the
controls.
It was the first time he had been
aloft since he arrived from New
York and he seemed absolutely like
a boy at play-happy both over the
pleasure of flying and at getting a
little respite from formalities and
attention by crowds.
Experts Amazed
Lindbergh displayed his remarkable
familiarity with aircraft when air.
drome officers began showing him
the mechanism and controls IF the
French plane. He needed little ex-
PLANTATION and took off, handling the
machine as If he had spent his life
in this. new model, which he had
never seen before.
During his air stunts over the
military field before landing, he
simply amazed the little group of
experts watching him. Although all
of them are expert pilots, some COM
mented that his acrobatics and aerial
flip-flops were frightening in their
daring.
Violates Ordinances
During his flight, Lindbergh
violated the city ordinances and
military regulations by flying low,
but he had military escort in
another monoplane and at any rate
no one had the least objection to
his doing as he chose.
After breakfast he went shopping.
He looked around for presents for
his mother and friends back home,
but exactly what he did about the
Ysomething from Paris" that he
must take home he did not say.
Lindbergh returned to the en-
bassy only an hour before he was due
to leave for q luncheon given by NJ.
