speed, Lieut.. James D. Barner yester.
day established new worlds speed
record for seaplanes. carrying a spe-
cific load of 1,102 pounds over a 500

made by A.. Pasaleva. in Italy last
year, when he averaged 11S.445 miles
an hour.
Official announcement of the new
record was made by the Navy De-
partment upon receipt of certificates
submitted by the National Aeronautic
Association. Barner's was the first
attempt made by an American to cap
ture the 500-kilometer record, which
is the fourth to be annexed by the
Navy during the last month. Three
of these were made by naval aviators
flying the Vought Corsair plane.
Lieut.. Barner was born at Albion,
Mich, and was enlisted in the Navy
in 1907, being commissioned an en-
sign in 1918. During the World War
he served on the staff Of Vice Ad-
miral Coffman and became a qualified
naval aviator in November, 1921.
