Collyer and Mears Hope to Eclipse
Army Planes Time.
NEW YORK, october Is OP).-The
Lockheed Vega monoplane Yankee
Doodle, holder of the West-to-East
transcontinental nonstop record, was
speeding westbound today in an attempt
to set new nonstop record from New
York to Las Angeles.
Capt c. B. D. Collyer, who, with
John Henry Mears, holds the round
the-world record, was at the controls,
and back in the passengers seat was
Harry Tucker, owner of the plane and
passenger on the planes three other
tranScontinental fights.
The little cigar-shaped, white-winged
plane roared down the transatlantic
runway at Roosevelt Field yesterday
afternoon and took the air after a
run of 1,700 feet at 4:16:35 pm. She
was loaded with $50 gallons of gaso-
line, enough for a 24-hour fight, a
bag of apples and two canteens OF
water.
Heading back over the same course

the plane to a transcontinental record

of Lieuts. oakley G. Kelly and John A.
Macready. for the east to west passage
The Army fiiers' record Is 26 hours, so
minutes and 38 seconds, made in 1926.
The Yankee Doodle's announced
course lay over McKeesport, Pa; Co
lunlbus. Ohio; Indianapolis, Terre
Haute, Wichita, Albuquerque and
through the San Bernardino Pass into
California.
Collyer announced he would fly low
as long as he could see the ground, but
OTTER the moon had set would ascend
to an altitude of $4,000 feet and fol-
low compass course. A head wind
of 20 miles an hour was forecast for
the early stages of their flight. with
favorable winds after they cross the
Alleghenies.
This is the fourth time Tucker has
pitted his gallant little plane against
the strain OF the 2,800-mile fight from
coast to coast. The first West to East
attempt was unsuccessful, but on the
second try Goebel piloted her through
to the record. The plane finished first
in the nonstop derby from New York
to Los Angeles, but, like all the other
planes that finished, was forced to
descend en- route to take on fuel.
Tucker announced that if the present
fight was successful he and Collyer
would take off within 10 days in an at
tempt to break the planes record for
the West to East passage.
