MAKERECORDS
Rio de Janeiro, Dis
tance of 4,600 Miles
From Start, Avi-
ator's Goal

GLYNN ISLAND, by Radia to
Brunswisk, Ga, Aug. 25.-tP)-The
Stinson-Detroiter monoplane, took
off from the beach here at I2:46
o'clock today on an attempted no-stop
flight to Brazil.
With Rio De Janeiro, the Brazilian
capital, $500 (cq) miles away, as his
objective, Redfern hoped at least TO
make Pernambuco, several hundred
miles to the north. He will try for
long distance and endurance records.
In seeking TO be the first to link
the two Americas in a nonstop air
plane flight, Redfern was guided by
reckonings estimated for a 1900 mile
course, the first leg of which lay
over approximately 2,40O miles Of
ocean.
From Glynn Isle beach his course
lay south 45 degrees east, which
would swing him east Of the Bahamas
to cross overland for the first time
in Porto Rico, where he was sched-
uled TO cut the southwestern corner,
passing over the Port Guanica light
house.
The monoplane then would head
out over the Caribbean sea, the
ground Of hurricanes, passing near
Grenada islands, 70 Baga, Trinidad
and soaring over continental land in
Dutch Guiana for the first time
shortly after sighting St. Andrews
point. British Guiana.
After traversing Dutch Guiana,
Redfern planned to steer direct for
Maeapa, on the north bank of the
Amazon, where he expected to de-
side whether TO turn to Pernam-
buco. northeast Of Rio, or continue to
the Brazilian capital.
