modern knowledge of building flying
craft.
The plane had been fueled and
provisioned since last week, and
only final tuning up of motors was
needed
1t was raining slightly as the four
members of the crew and Kinkade
entered the plane. Neville ordered
the canvas covers taken off the pro-
pellers.
Kinkade crawled out of the plane.
The motors were speeded up. Ross
Gardner stood by the tail, ready to
loose the slip-bolt which held the
America fast while its propellers
gathered speed.
But before he could slip it, the
plane tore loose and was off.

Tired of delays caused by
eapricious storms, Byrd took a
chance on minor atmospheric
disturbances and set out at
"a a. m. when meteorological
eports showed that major
seorms at least had cleared
fro mthe path to Europe.
With Byrd went Lieut.. George
o. Neville as navigator, Bert Acosta
as pilot and Lieut.. Bernt Balchen,
the jack of all trades, as a general
utility man to do whatever may
be needful
The plane haS been waiting for
avs on the six-foot mound of earth
the end of the Roosevelt field
runway, down which first Charles
Lindbergh and = then Clarence
Cllanaberlin and Charles Levine
started their transatlantic jour-
neys.
It's tail was bound to the runway
so the motors could get up full speed
before the plane was started down
the runway, but the craft, impatient
as it's crew, tore itself loose from the
restraining bond before mechanics
could loosen it and set out madly
along the runway.
Takeoff Is Beautiful
It wobbled little under the heavy
load and then, as the wings caught
the air, SKINNED beautifully along
the firm ground. Forty-eight sec
onds after it slipped the bolt which
held it fast, the planes wheels left
the ground after a run of 3.268 feet
on earth.
The four men waved farewell as
the plane left the ground. A crowd
cheered, as similar crowds had
cheered Lingbergh and Chamberlin.
The plane rose steadily, easily, and
headed for Europe and fame or dis
aster and possible tragedy.
Lindbergh's flight was the first
from New York to the continent of
Europe and Chamberlins was the
longest ever made by plane. Byrd's
will be neither. but it's interest to
aviation is as great as either of the
others, for it marks the first attempt
to span the ocean in plane similar
to the type which airmen agree may
be used when transatlantic pas
menger service becomes a reality.
Byrd's flight differed from the
others also in that the plane carried
elaborate radio equipment and was
to broadcast constantly cryptic
sign that all was safe.
