two brothers, "BilF' ana Noliarlle
Maylon, who will welcome each other
for the first time in two years during
the national air races and derbies ut
the Spokane air port, where "Charlie'
will land as passenger in govern
ment transport airplane from Boiling
field, Washington, ID. c.
Hundreds of people who have seen
Mr.. Maylon strut his theatrical ability
on local stages never dreamed that he
had brother, and the few who dld
know it never had the least idea that
"Charlie" is sergeant-major in Uncle
Sans flying corps.
1.-The kid is only 30 years old, ana
he's had II years service in the army,
said Mr.. Maylon, AS he displayed a
letter to officers of tine National Ar
Derby of Spokane.
Part of the good news in the letter
from brother to brother is the TACT
that "Charlie" will fly across the con-
tinent i'm plane to be piloted by
Lieutenant Lester j. Maitland, who
winged the Pacific ocean, in the hrst
nonstop flight.
Assistant Secretary of War Trubee
Dawson will be the other passenger
in the plane from Washington.
Charlie and l haven't seen each
other for two years." said Bill Mayloh.
The last time we were together was
in Washington, where had a ride Win
Maitland. At that time l DIDN'T rea-
lie the future pilot of the first Paclhc
ocean flight was taking me for mop.
You can bet that I'll be after IA
ride i'm that transport plane, when she
lands here"
