FLIGHT PROVES
AIRPORTS NOT
READY FOR WAR
BomberS Meet Many Vexing
Delays on Journey to
West Coast.
BY HERBERT LITTLE
United Press staff Correspondent

EN- ROUTE TO LOS ANGELES,
ABOARD ARMY BOMBER, Sept. 7.
Commercial airport facilities un-
der present conditions have proved
inadequate to provide for national
defense needs in case of a sudden
mobilization of United States air
forces on the western coast.
A United Press survey of this
weeks tactical maneuvers in the
Army's crack bombing outfit, the
Second Observation group, showed
that, so far as speed is concerned,
the attempt to fly to the Pacific
coast to stop theoretical threaten
ing enemy fleet, has failed.
The Langley field groups, flying
in huge Liberty planes,
have been almost perfect in per-
formance, but the time lost in fuel
ing and delays caused by made
quate facilities would prevent any
such group crossing the continent in
less than four days under present
conditions.
Lack of night flying equipment
over dangerous terrain also hindered
the groups attempt to make speed.
The group, which has been in the
air only thirty hours in making 1000
miles from Langley to Midland,
Texas, planned to reach Tucson to-
night by making a start today.
The bombing plane is regarded as
potentially the most destructive
agent of war. especially as to NUM-
tions and morale. The Army now
has fewer than forty of them in
commission, but forty-four more
even larger machines, with lighter,
more powerful air-cooled motors,
are to be delivered to the Army
next year at a cost of about $4,000
each, without battle equipment.
The log of the fueling delays, most
Of which are ascribed by the flying
officers to the fact that the airports
are laid out and operated chiefly for
the convenience of the lighter COM
mercial planes, is as follows:
Ft. Bragg, N. G. (Army posD one

and one-half hours for servicing
with oil and gasoline. The post has
insufficient gasoline trucks to service
the planes all at once.
Augusta, Ga, commercial airport
two and three-fourths hours. Bulky
planes had to taxi up to under
ground storage tank hoses, and also
to pump gasoline from drums.
Montgomery, Ala. Army post.
three hours-Situation similar to-
Ft. Bragg.
Monroe, La, commercial airport,
two and one-half hours, after which
planes proceeded to Shreveport with
only 300 gallons of 1.5OO needed, be-
cause gasoline requested the night
before was not sent to airport.
Shreveport, La, commercial air
port, one and one-half hours
Monroe and Shreveport delays
caused failure to reach Dallas as
scheduled that night.
Midland, Texas, commercial air
port. This town, in middle of the
great oil fields, was unable on two
days notice to get enough gasoline
drums to enable quick fueling.
Fueling took four and one-half
hours, which prevented a 300-mile
scheduled afternoon flight to El
Paso. The unlighted Ft. Bliss field
and the narrow runways made a
night landing there unsafe.
The remedy for the situation is
for airports, municipal, private, and
Government, to make provision for
obtaining drums of gasoline in large
numbers, which can be taken out Of
each plane and pumped in.
This operation takes a half-hour
if the equipment is ready. Many
stations, including the one at Mid
land, fuel planes from an ordinary
automobile filling pump, but a
three-ton bombing plane cannot be
moved about so easily.

GERMANS BUILD
GIANTS OF SKY
AT RAPID Rate
Flying Boats Three Times
as Large as Any in
Existence Made.
By Times Special

BIZ Times Special
BERLIN, Sept. 7-Construction OF
big airplanes goes on ,apace in Ger
many. The Dornier Metal Airplane
Company is building a series of fly
ing boats which are to be more THAI
three times as large as any in ex-
istence.
The first of the Rohrbach Roman
planes is completed and three others
are nearing completion in the Ber-
lin plant.
More will be built as soon as the
present ones are delivered. There
are no larger flying boats in the
world.
In addition to the Dornier and
Rohrbach plants, the Junkers Works
at Dessau are constructing planes OF
the larger type. However, they are
not designed for transocean flying.
Details Kept Secret
Though Professor Junkers is keep
ing details secret, it has leaked out
that one of the new types is four
motor plane similar to the Junkers
monoplanes already ID service.
Two motors will be set in each
wing and they will develop approx
mately 1000 horsepower.
The second new Junker type is a
seaplane with three motors. 1t will
hold eighteen passengers, but is not
designed for long sea journeys.
The Albatross Company continues
to manufacture the sleeping car
type now operating on the Berlin
Moscow line. Fokker-Wulf OF Bre-
men also will conf1ne itself to ma
chimes of the type it is turning out
at present, capable OF carrying
twelve passengers.
Doubts Ocean Hop Feasibility
Professor Heinkel, head of the
firm bearing his name and man
ufacturing biplanes, is ~essimistic
about possibilities of constructing
seaworthy planes, and has taken
no steps toward manufacturing MS
machines.
However, the skepticism shown by
some. of the German airplane build
ers does not deter Rohrbach and
Dorinier from pushing onward
They are as certain of their ground
as the others are confident the
present big step is unwarranted.
Back of Rohrbach stands the Ger
man government. The Lutthansa
is urging both plants to produce
bigger and bigger machines.
DR.. Merkel, director ofe the Lut-
thansa, believes that 1928 is
critical year in air traffic and will
mark the close of the epoch of re-
stricted distance flying and will
open an era of air transportation
encircling the globe and crossing
the seven seas.
Strange as it may seem, the con-
struction of seaworthy planes is not
giving the organizers of transocean
service as much trouble now as find
ing methods for accurate nayiga-
ton.
New instruments are needed
which will enable precise bearings
to be taken when the machines
are travelling at full speed and also
for plotting positions at dead reck-
oning when flying.
Doubtless the radio will solve the
most difficult part Of this problem
s., by the time other necessary or.
ganization is completed.
Radio position-flnding by tri-
angulation rapidly is replacing light
leacons on night land routes here.
