FIVE AMERICAN
ASPIRE
TO WORLD MARK
Will Attempt to Set New En-
durance Record in Air-Ger-
many Holds Title

New York, Dec. 22.-R-Five
American airplanes are being made
ready for attempts to bring back
to the United States the world en-
durance record which two German
flyers captured last summer.
The record that the aviators hope
to improve was established last
summer by Cornelius Edzard and
Johann Risticz, when they remained
in the air over Berlin for So hours
and So minutes in n Junker mono-
plane. Their endurance flight broke
the record of 81 hours and az seconds
established in May by Bert Acosta
and Clarence Chamberlin, who later
won fame as transatlantic flyers.
The campaign to regain the en-
durance title is in progress in three
widely separated sections of the
United States. On Long Island,
three planes are being tuned and
tested. Another will make its
start from Daytona, Fla, and the
fifth has made it's base at Mills
Field, near San Francisco.
Acosta Again After Title
Acosta himself is one Of the avia-
tors out to bring back the title
that the Germans flew away with.
He and Emil Burgin will fly a Fox
ker Universal, christened "Thc Split
dorf," over Curtis Field.
Interest in the race for the record
is increased by the presence at the
same field of a mystery Ship" a
Fairchild cabin monoplane with a
new type of engine, reputed to con-
sumo SO little gasoline that some
say the plane may stay up in the
air 60 hours.
The third ship at the Long Island
field is a Stinson-Detroiter, to be
piloted by George Weiss, Jr., with
Lewis Solomon as navigator.
William S. Brock and Edward
Schlee, Detroit airmen, who crossed
the Atlantic last summer and con-
tinued in series of flights across
Europe and Asia to Japan in their
pride of Detroit" will fly above
the white sands of Florida.
Will Try Again
In California, Capt. Charles King
ford Smith, Australian pilot, and
Lieut.. George Tomb, flying in 1.-THE
Spirit of California" already have
made three unsuccessful trials for
the record and are determined upon
further attempts. Their plane is
the re-christencd Southern Cross
which began its flying career in the
Arctic in the hands of George H.
Wilkins, American explorer. It
later was acquired by Captain Smith
for a projected flight to Honolulu
and thence to Australia.
A sixth entry in the endurance
contest, A. A. Marines Bellanca
Monoplanc, has been withdrawn in
favor of competition for a $4,000
prize offered for a Dallas-to- Hong
Kong flight.
