TINY FORD PLANE

motors. Two other type planes are built by the Ford company. single eneined monoplane and a giant air. liner of the kind in which Mrs. Evangeline Lindbergh recently jour neyed to Mexico City and return. The former is motored by a Liberty engine while the airliner is powered by three Wright whirlwinds.
 New Type Plane
 The Ford company has been ex- perimenting with flivver plane over long period, but today's projected flight was the first of major import ance undertaken. About q year ago Ford gave a demonstration of hiv- yer plane then being experimental upon, at his airport in Dearborn. Although the trial flights were ap- parently successful, the plane never met with approval of the manufac- turer and was ultimately discarded. The plane in which Brooks hopes 10 negotiate the Miami flight, is its suc- cessor.
 It is equipped with wing braces eN- tending from the wheelbase. and Is built much on the order Of the small fighting planes used by the French during the world war.
 Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 34 UP)-Bad flying weather throughout the south- east was reported today by tho United States weather bureau here.
 The "fivver plane" en route from Detroit 10 Miami, will face the han dicaps of heavy fog and rain on it's flight from Detroit 10 Miami.
 Detroit, Jan. 24 UP) - Henry Ford can manufacture and sell fliv- yer planes. like the one in which Harrk Brooks attempted a nonstop flight to Florida today, for S2.So0. ,he United Press learned.
 The price was computed from r'ord's experiments on small scale production and probably could be reduced considerably on large scale production. it was said.
 Brooks plane is a new creation, far different from the flivver plane which Ford exhibited on his birthday year before last. Changes from that type of plane were suggested. 1t was learned. by Colonel Charles A. Lind- l,"rgh, when he flew the old type ,ivver plane at the Ford airport last simmer.
