USE Of CATAPULT
MAY Be REVIVED
Return to Method Tried Out
by Wrights Seen by
German.

GOSLAR, Germany GP.-A return to
the methods used by the Wright broth
erS for launching planes In the air with
a catapult is seen by Maj. Alfred Hide
brandt. dean of German flyers, who Is
considered one of Europets greatest au-
thorities on aeronauticS.
Much fun was poked at the cata-
putting arrangement of the WrightS,"
DR.. Hildebrandt said, but as a matter
OF fact, after Is years we are now dis
cussing the reintroduction Of some arti-
fetal starter such as q catapult, both to
enable heavily laden planes to take OF
more easily, and also to make starting
on small airdromes possible"
Hildebrandt, whose active interest in
aviation began In 1889, when he became
balloon pilot, Is held in high regard
by European aviation experts who are
acquainted With his work.
Since 1898 he has devoted himself
especially to the problems of heavier
than-air craft. BY 1897 Hildebrandt
then lieutenant of artillery, predicted
IN lecture at Strassburg that "in one
or two decades everybody will be able
TO travel In flying machines" This pre-
diction was the indirect cause Of his
later visit to America and of his be.
coming an ardent supporter Of Wilbur
and Orville Wright.
Hildebrandt was for q time q close
co-worker Of Count Zeppelin. Men like
Hugo Eckener, Hermann Koehl. Baron
Won Huenefeld and other contemporary
German flyers read his numerous arti.
cles In scientific journals and daily
newspapers.

Attempt to Duplicate Lind

nv DON BROWN

NEW YORK, March s.-More than a
score of attempts at transoceanic
flights are planned for the coming sea-
son by experienced flying men and
women who yearn for a few crumbs of
the glory which fell to Lindbergh when
he achieved his spectacular crossing of
the Atlantic by air.
Not all of these aspirants may be
called noviceS at ocean-hopping, for six
Of the proposed flights are to be made
by men who have to their credit the
crossing OF at least one ocean by air.
Two pilots hope to encircle the entire
globe in nonstop, refueling- by-air
flights. The experience gained by the
record-breaking flight of the Question
Mark, which remained aloft over six
days, is to be employed in the Globe
circling attempts.
Viola Gentry, who first became IA
nous when she broke the world endur-
ance record for women a few months
ago, only to have it broken again In a
few weeks later by another pilot, will
be at the controls on one of the at
tempts to span the Atlantic.
Miss Grace Lyons. Long Island flying
enthusiast, who loaned Miss Gentry the
plane in which she broke the endurance
record, will accompany the former rec
ordholder on the fight.
The six pilots who have already flown
across one ocean successfully and who
hope to repeat their performance are

craft Co.

Capt. Holden c. Richardson, former
chief of the design division of the
Navy Bureau of Aeronautics, and re-
garded as one of the worlds foremost
authorities on the design of aircraft
floats and hulls. has gone into CONNER
cial aeronautics after nearly 80 years
of service in the Navy. He has be-
come vice president In charge of en-
cheering and design of the Great
Lakes Aircraft Corporation of Cleye-
land.
In 1919 Capt. Richardson electrified
the world with an epic tale of flying
history. While plotting one of the
famous NC seaplanes in the first trans
atlantic flight his ship was forced into
the water at a point some 200 miles
from the Azores Islands, after covering
1900 nautical miles. In the face OF
heavy seas, scarcity of provisions and
water he TAXED the plane the entire
distance to Ponta Delgada, coming into
the harbor under his own power.
Foremost among the captain achieve
ments along aeronautical lines are the
design of airplane floats and 11ulls. his
pioneer work in the development OF
catapults and his participation In the
design and testing OF the NC flying
boats.
Capt. Richardson was born IN
Shamokin. Pa, In 1878; entered the
Naval Academy In 1897, was graduated
In 1901. and after about IL years duty
in various departments was assigned
to the aviation section. On completing

AIR AND RAIL LINE
TO OPEN IN SPRING
Coast to Coast Service,
Headed by Lindbergh and
Keys, Announces Plans.

Completion of arrangements for the
Transcontinental Air Transport Lind
bergh Line a coast-to-coast air and
rail service which will be inaugurated
late this Spring, has been announced
in report by C. M. Keys, president of
the company, with which Col. Charles
A. Lindbergh is associated as chairman
Of the technical committee.
The complete route, with all stops,
luncheon and dinner periods, on the
ground and aboard the planes, and pro-
vision for night flying. is recorded In the
report. The schedules call for a west
bound trip from New York to San Fran
cisco in SO hours and 50 minutes and
the eastbound trip In 46 hours and Is
minutes. The difference In time IS due
to the direction of the prevailing winds
and to delays In connections on the
westbound flight.
Ten Planes Purchased.
Ten tri-motored Ford all-metal mono
planes have been purchased and half of
this number delivered. The first Of
these planes, the City Of Columbus,
which was fitted up as private office
for Col. Paul Henderson, former Second
Assistant Postmaster General in charge
of air mail and now vice president Of the
Transcontinental Air Transport, In
charge of operations. This plane also
was used by Col. Lindbergh last Fall In
starting an aerial survey of the proposed
route. This plane was at Boiling Field
during the past week in connection with
the Inauguration day aerial program.
WeStbound passengers will leave New
York by rail at sos pm, arriving at
the new transport lines airport along
the tracks just east of Columbus, Ohio,
at 7:55 O'Clock the next morning. Leav-
ing the train, the passengers will go to
the plane, waiting with its motors
warmed up and ready to take of.
Hop to Waynoka, Kans.
The passengers will be flown to Way
noka. Kans., with stops at Indianapolis,
st. Louis, where luncheon will be served /;
Kansas City and Wichita. At Way
noka, the travellers will be transferred
to Pullman cars for an overnight rail-
road trip to Clovis, N. NJ, where they
again will board an airplane to complete
the trip by air. The route from Clovis
calls for stops at Albuquerque, Winslow,
