known. Navy officials say, until the ON
cial paragraphs carried in the plane are
calibrated at Washington.
In his flight of two hours, 46 minutes
and 10 seconds, Lieut. Soucek hoped to
better the worlds altitude record for
seaplanes carrying 1000 Kilograms, but
failed by approximately 1000 feet. The
worlds record in this class Is 1896
feet, established at Altenl1einl, Switzer-
land, on July 18, 1927, by Richard
Wagner in Dernier "Merkur."
The worlds record for land planes is
38. 792 feet, held by Renate Donati Of
Italy.
Lieut.. Soucek declared that he could
have stayed aloft longer but because Of
the cold at 17.000 feet he was unable to
get sufficient revolutions out of his two
Wright Cyclone 525-horsepower motors.
The lieutenant said he used his oxy-
gen flask but once, but only as pre-
caution and not of necessity. The low
est temperature he noted was zero.
The plane is to be overhauled and
flown to Hampton Roads by I.ieut. c. H.
SchiIhauer, former holder of the worlds
duration records for seaplanes.
On May 5. the PN-l2 broke the en-
durance record for seaplanes by remain
ing in the air for 80 hours and min
ute At that time the plane was piloted
by Lieut.. Arthur Gavin, fight officer at
the Philadelphia Navy Yard, and Lieut..
Soucek.
Two more records were established
last week when the plane with a useful
load Of 1000 Kilograms remained aloft
II hours S. minutes 1873 seconds, and
covered a distance the equivalent of
1,242 miles before being forced down by
rain.
