another attempt, using the same baro-

sent to the Bureau of Standards, and
it was then the experts learned that
the first instrument was not entirely
accurate. Their opinions were con-

they were convinced that screw hold

38,474 Feet Highest.

Lieut. Carleton C. Champion. L. S.
| ~, formerly on duty in the Bureau
of Aeronautics here and now stu
dent at the Post graduate School. is
| king of the high flyers.
| When on July 25 last, Lieut.. Cham
pion took off from the naval air sta
ton IN an attempt to break what was
| then thought to be the world altitude
record. but which subsequently has
been thrown out. owing to the fact
that the French airman, Jean Callizo,
! faxed the altitude of 40,S20 feet, he
reached the highest point in the sky
ever attained by man in heavier
than air machine. but he did not then
know it.
The flight was one of the most
thrilling and spectacular in the his
tory of aeronautics and this feature
completely overshadowed any marks
he made. Four times his engine
caught fire after blowing off cylinder
heads, and four times Champion eX-
| tinguiShed the fire by putting his lit
tie ship in violent sideslips. He could
! have jumped and tloated safely to
earth with his parachute. hut he de-
termincd TO save the Paragraphs be-
cause he believed he had reached
| AZ, 900 feet. He made a forced landing
| in cornfield and then the aeronautic
world was held in suspense pending
celebration of the instruments. The
Bureau of Standards finally deter
mined that Champion reached only
3S.474 feet. considerably lower than
| CalliZo's record.
Macready Figure Inaccurate.
When Callizu was held up to the
world as a fal.rr and lis startling alti-
tude figure was wiped off the records,
Lieut.. John A. Macready. formerly of
McCook field, Dayton, Ohio, but not
now in the Army Air Corps, stood
next in line for honors as altitude
king of the world by virtue of d figure
recorded after his name in the official
publication of the National Aeronaut-
ic Association. The publication which
set forth the world aircraft records
and the American Aircraft record list
ed Macready as having reached an al
titude of 3S,704 feet on January %,
1926 Since that time this figure,
which obviously is in excess of Cham
pion's altitude, has remained on the
official air record tabulation which is
in circulation throughout the world
1t developed today. however. that this
figure, 3S.704 feet, is inaccurate and
is not the true reading of Macready's s
barogra phs.
Carl +. Schory, secretary of the con-
test committee of the Aeronautic AS
sociation. which supervises and au.
thenticates record air craft perfor-
mances, declared he had made a mis-.
take in not publishing the corrected
Macready altitude figure. which is
37,519 feet. Schory explained that
! about month after the Macready
barograph was calibrated the Bureau
of Standards submitted a corrected
report. Inasmuch as the flight at that
time had no chance of competing with
the then Callizo record. Schory said he
