Harry Brooks Leaves Detroit
1t 7:15, Plotting Latest Ford
Product-Expects to Com
plete Trip in IA Hours
Plane Has Wing, Spread Of
Less Than 20 Feet

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 24.-(AP)-
Harry Brooks, plotting the latest
Ford products flivver plane-took
off from the Ford airport at 7:15,
eastern standard time, today, on .
projected nonstop flight to Miami,
Fla.
IN total darkness, with . steady
fall Of rain and snow, the tiny plane
was brought from the hangar. With
no ceremony, Brooks took his place
in the plane, shook hands with Henry
Ford and William B. Mayo, chief
engineer Of the Ford Motor com.
pany, and was off. He circled the
field once, gained altitude Of about
500 feet and swung away from the
field on the southwark journey.
II wish you luck" were Mr..
Ford's only words to Brooks.
Carries % Gallons Of Gas
The plane carried 48 gallons of
gasoline in wing tanks. Brooks said
he planned to complete the hop in
Ia hours. He carried no food and
only quart Of drinking water.
The plane, first Of all-Ford manu-
facture 70 be produced, is 40 tiny
It could easily be hangared in q
woodshed.
With . wing spread Of less than
20 feet, and . gasoline capacity Of
approximately g gallons, the plane
ID believed by its designers capable
Of negotiating the !, 1,400-mile jour-
ney on half its gas load. Tests of
the ship have shown 4 gasoline
consumption Of only : fraction more
than two gallons per 100 miles, while
travelling at top speed, which is ap-
proximately 100 miles an hour.
Has Two-cy1indef Motor
The plane ID powered by . tiny
two-cylindsr motor. Its production
marks the initta1 venture Of Ford
into the manufacture Of airp1ane
motors. Two other type planes are
built BY the Ford company, 4 single
engined monoplane and . giant air
liner Of the kind in which Mrs. Ev.
Lindbergh recently Jour-
neyed to Mexico City and return.
The former is motored by . Liberty
engine while the air liner is powered
by three Wright Whirlwinds.
The Ford company has been cx-
perimentinE with Z flivver plane
over . long period, but today's pro-
jected flight was the first Of major
undertaken.
The new flivver plane Is built
much on the order Of tho small
fighting planes used by the French
during the world war. The cabin is
not enclosed and will accommodate
only the pilot.
