Await Fort Worth
Endurance Filters

FORT WORTH. Tex. May 81
Pl-Having added almost q full
day to the worlds endurance flight
record. r.. l.. Robbins and James
Kelly eschewed the praise Of an ad-
miring nation and slept today
while experts made careful exam
ination of their monoplane Fort
Worth which the two brought "a
earth. yesterday after soaring al
most seven and one-half days
The two pilots. one an ex-cow-
boy. the other a former railroad
mechanic, added new line to the
illustrious record which started
with the Wrights' one minute flight
at Kitty Hawk in 1908 when they
kept the Fort Worth aloft through
rain. wind. sunshine. hail and
lightning for 172 hous5. 80 minutes
and one second. besting the record
OF $50 hours. 40 minutes and Is
seconds set by the arVy nDnoplane
Question Mark by 21 hours. 81 min
utes and SO seconds.
The army plane had three mo-
tors. a crew Of five men and an
expert ground crew. Robbins had
six years experience as a flyer. but
Kelly came off the range only a
year and half ago. and the course
in flying which he took technically
ended In April. although his skill
gave him a lob with the Texas Air
Transport Corporation long before
that.
IN spite of the fact that the two
youthful flyers had gambled by go
ing aloft with a motor which had
run 500 hours after being discarded
by AL Henley. it was as good a:
ever when 1t returned TO the
ground. Some Of the adjustments
we're worn, but 1t could have run
for many more hours.
The two flyers divided credit fol
the success or their flight. Kelly
pointed out that Robbins ability u
get the most out OF the motor
without Straining 1t was largely re-
sponsible for its performance. Rob-
bins attributed a large share oi
their success to the intrepidty oi
Kelly who frequently crawled al
around the hood Of the plane tx
grease the valve rocker arms. The
Question Mark was brought K
earth BY valve trouble.
It was on one OF these trips &c

an accident which eventually forced
the plane down. A loose buckle or

blades Of the big wooden fan. Dur

blades and caused the propeller tc

Shortly after noon yesterday the
pilots dropped a note saying the
propeller was vibrating badly and
they would have to descend soon
They kept the plane In the air
