Delayed Start of Transatlantic
Commercial Flight Reveals
Story of Triumph.

Behind the delayed start of the first
commercial transatlantic flight of the
Rohrbach flying boat, the Rostra, which
has been postponed from May Is to
June 1, is the story of a triumph for
American aviation engines, it has been
learned here.
The Rostra's flight, with a 1000
pound cargo, from Lisbon to New York,
was delayed becaase of the unsatisfac-
tory performance of Its two European
engines. These motors have been re-
moved and will be replaced by Ameri-
can Pratt g. Whitney Hornets, radical
air-cooled engine OF SITS horsepower.
The Hornets will be fi$ted with En-
ropean type of reduction gear for use
on the big flying boat.
Decision as to whether the flight
will be made by way of Cape Verde to
Fernando Noronha or direct from Cape
Verde to Barbados will depend upon
the weather at the time of departure,
it was indicated.

the Department of Commerce has been
informed.
The entire country was snowbound
during February and ice blocked water
travel. On several occasions Denmark's
only connection with other European
countries was by air. Every available
plane in the country was pressed into
service, and emergency calls for addi-
tional planes brought Dutch, German
and Swedish planes, which were mainly
used to maintain communications with
their respective countries.
Planes were used to supply icebound
Islands and forts, and food and medi-
cine were carried to ships which were
frozen in off shore. During the entire
period of the emergency, when between
SO and go arplanes were in continuous
use under the most difficult conditions,
there was not single accident.

j. S. AIR MILEAGE
GAINS ON EUROPE
Commercial Advance Shown
in Bulletin, Which Credits
Petroleum Industry.

The United States led the world in the
percentage of gain in commercial aero
nauticS last year and is rapidly over
taking Europe in the air mileage flown
yearly by commercial airplanes, accord
ing to bulletin issued by the Amer
lean Research Foundation. Commercial
planes in this country today fly more
miles than those of any other single
country, the bulletin shows.
PLANES of American air transport
companies flew a total of 1O,472 ,024
miles in 1928, which was gain of more
than 100000 miles, or 100 per cent,
over the previous year." says the bull
letin, while commercial planes in the
10 leading countries of Europe flow
15,578,716 miles, an increase of about
5000, 900 miles, or only IS per cent. If
America continues to gain on Europe
at this ratio of four to one, this country
will soon be flying more air miles a
year than all Europe combined
Germany led the individual countries
of Europe in flying mileage last year
with a total of 6,303,150, or about 60
per cent of the American total, accord
ing to statistics of Aeronautical Cham
Der of Commerce. France was second
with 4,666,13 Italy third with / ,237, 900.
and Great Britain fourth with 1,135, 900
miles.
Progress of aviation in this country
has been quickened by the cooperation
OF the petroleum industry Scientists in
the laboratories of the big refiners are
experimenting continually to improve
petroleum lubricants and aircraft gaso-
line to increase the efficiency and per-
Torrance of airplanes. Moreover, the
oil industry is aiding in the develop
ment of airports by establishing a serv-
Ice of supply for planes at fields
throughout the. country.
In air passenger traffic, Europe's
lead over the United States is marked,
due to Government subsidies lowering
the fares. American planes carried
52,934 passengers last year, while those
OF the 10 leading European countries
carried 223,845. At that, the United
States exceeded all individual countries
OF Europe in this branch, with the ex-
ception OF Germany where Ill, 900 pas
sengers were carried"

NAVY SOON TO COMPLETE TASK
OF REFORMING DIRIGIBLE FORCE
Program Provides for Training
Crews to Put on Huge Airships
Now Being Constructed.

Reorganization of the lighter-than-
air forces of the Navy in preparation
for the construction at Akron, Ohio, of
two huge 6.500.000 cuhAc feet military
dirigibles will be completed next month.
A program of expansion which will pro-
vide for the training of crews for the
big ships has been inaugurated under
direction of Secretary of the Navy
Adams.
The reorganiza ton includes the Gre
alton of a school for dirigible officers,
to be known as the Rigid AirShip Train
ing and Experimental Squadron at
Lakehurst Naval Air Station, Lake
hurst, N. j.. the Navy's dirigible base.
Lieut. Comdr. Charles E. Rosendahl,
commander of the dirigible Los Angeles,
has been relieved of that command and
assigned to command Of the training
squadron.
Reserve Force to Be Trained.
When the work of the school has
been completed the Navy will have at
least three trained dirigible commanders
and crews, with a certain number of
reserve officers trained to fill any
vacancies which may occur and to form
the nucleus of future dirigible crews.
Organization of the Lakehurst school
will follow closely the plan in effect at
the New London submarine base in Con-
necticut. it was stated at the Navy
Department. Although the dirigibles
are designed primarily for operations
with the feet, the training of the
officers who will man them will be
divorced from the fleet and placed under
the jurisdiction of Rear Admiral Julian
L. Latimer. commander of the fourth
Naval district. This is done, it was
explained, because the Los Angeles,
under the terms of her surrender to
the United States by the German gov
eminent, may not be used as a military
ship, but must be used solely for train
ing and experimental purposes.
The first of the new dirigibles, which
are to be designated ZRS-4 and
ZRS-5, probably will not be launched
for at least two years. Construction of
the great hangar in which they will
be built is in progress at Akron and
construction of the dirigibles will begin
Immediately following completion of the
building.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-05-12

The Rigid Airship Training and Ex-
detrimental Squadron will be one of the
most complete schools of its kind in ex-
istence. There the Navy will train its
future dirigible commanders and their
Supordinates in ground work and the
handling of dirigibleS afloat under
every possible condition. Advanced air
navigation courses will be taught and
the officers will be thoroughly trained
in the constructive features of dirigible
building. following closely the fabri-
cation of the ships at the Goodyear
Zeppelin plant in Ohio.
Comdr Rosendahls post as COM
mander of the Los Angeles will be filled
by Lieut.. Condr. Herbert ". Wiley.
executive officer of the ship. It is
understood that Comdr. RoSendahl and
Comdr. Wiley probably will take over
command of the two new dirigibles.
Lieut.. Comdr Vincent A. Clarke, jr.,
who now is in Germany preparing to
act as the United States naval observer
aboard the Graf Zeppelin on its pro-
posed transatlantic flight this month,
will be the third dirigible commander.
First Class Due June Is.
The new dirigible school will receive
its first class June Is, when 16 Naval
officers who have no previous dirigible
training will begin the course. Among
the officers who already have been
assigned to the dirigible school are:
Lieut.. Adolph Hede, now aboard the
U. S. S. Barker; Lieut.. Charles F. Mil
Ter, U. S. S. Arkansas; Lieut.. Harold H.
Pickens, U. S. S. New Mexico: Ensign
James A. GreenWald, jr., U. S. S.
Wyoming; Ensign Clinton S. Rounds,
U. S. S. Saratoga; Ensign Thomas M.
Whelan u S S Detroit
Comdr Rosendahl has been in COM
maud of the Los Angeles since May 10,
1926, and for nearly three years prior
to that was in command of the Inflated
Shenandoah. He was born in Chicago
May IS, 1892, and was appointed to
the Naval Academy from Texas July
9, 1910.
Comdr Wiley was born in Wheeling,
Mo. May Is. 1891, and appointed to the
Naval Academy from Missouri in 1911.
He was sent to Lakehurst in April,
1923, and assigned to the Los Angeles
in January, 1925.

TO REPLACE WATER
Chemical Seen as Aid to
Super-PIaneS, to Carry
Hundreds.
BY the Associated Press.


Liquid cooled aircraft engines of 1000
or 1000 horsepower are seen as a pos
sibility for giant airplanes through use
Of a chemical fluid developed to replace
water in the radiator.
With the bulk and weight of airplane
radiators minimized through use of the
fluid, Army Air Corps engineers say
that the most formidable barrier to the
Super-airplane engine has been removed.
Development of engines great in
power but small in size has been con-
Sidered the greatest need of the super
airplane which may carry several hun
dred passengers. Dr. Claude Dornier,
designer of the worlds largest f1yinC
boats, has said that regular transatlantic
airplane passenger service must wait on
engines of the 1000 or 1000 horsepower
type.
Radiator PerpIexing Problem.
Since the Wright brothers first flights
the radiator has been a perplexing prob
lem to aircraft designers. Attention of
Army Air Corps engineers has been To-
cuSed on the problem since 1923. The
discovery of satisfactory substitute for
water resulted from this research, in
which scores of substitutes were tested.
The chemical substitute, ethylene

for many motor anti-freeze solutions
now on the market 1t is clear, color
less, odorless and boils at 387 degrees
Fahrenheit.
The radiator can be cut to one fourth
its present size and weight by using the
chemical cooler, because only small
amount of the fluid is necessary to re-
place many gallons of water.
Wing Radiators Used.
Wing radiators, which have been con-
sidered advantageous but difficult to de-
Velop with the old water-cooled radi-
ator, may come into general use because
they make possible an increase in speed
by reduction. Of weight and resistance
to the air.
Pursuit planes have increased their
speed as much as Is miles an hour by
employment of wing radiators. Air
Corps engineers found that use CT the
fluid in a standard pursuit plane with
out wing radiators brought an 11-mile-
an-hour speed increase through a IS
per cent saving in weight and size of
the radiator.
