MAY TRY FOR PRIZE
Spirit of St. Louis
Will Be Placed In
Museum
BY JOHN O'BRIEN


LEBOURGET FIELD, France,
June 2.-B. F. Mahoney, the young
man who built Captain Lindbergh s
transatlantic monoplane, told the
United Press today that he would
build a similar ship to flv from Cal
ifornia to Honolulu.
Lindbergh will be asked to fly the
ship. If the famous airman de
clines, Mahoney will find another
pilot.
Mahoney revealed his plans to the
United Press today while waiting
here for Lindbergh to arrive from
England. He said he would return
to the United States Immediately
aboard the L. S. S. Memphis with
Lindbergh if possible, and other
wise aboard the Cunard liner Maur-
etania.
The trans-Pacific flight plane,
Mahoney said, would be mono
plane similar to the Spirit of St.
Louis. He expected to confer with
Lindbergh regarding the flight Fri
day when both will be in Paris.
The Spirit of st. Louis, Mahoney
said, could not be used for the
trans-Pacific venture because it was
to be placed in a museum. But,
the youthful head of the Ryan com.
pany said it would be easy to build
another plane which could benefit
by the lessons learned on the trans.
Atlantic flight which ended in Paris
May 81. No great changes would
be made in design.
The trans-Pacific plane would
compete, Mahoney said, for a prize
offered in Honolulu for the Califor.
MIA to Hawaii flight.
