A set q Los Angeles-New York record
OF IL hours Is minutes seconds,
who flew from Philadelphia to New York In 20
minutes and from Boston to New York In So
minutes.
This blond, bue-eyed, stockily- built young
man. who has been setting records never before
approached, has been crowding Lindbergh of
the front pages by his recent speed feats.
This perennially smiling holder of both the
West-to-East and the East-to-West airplane
speed records wants to demonstrate the feas-
Utility of speedy air travel and prove that it
is safe. cheap and altogether desirable.
I'VE will easily be travelling 500 miles an
hour in small aircraft within the next 10
years." he predicts, land $50 miles an hour
within the same period of time in large planes
carrying number of passengers for express
and mail.
Fright now 1 can demonstrate planes at a
cruising speed Of 200 miles an hour. That's
really just normal travel and it does not in
the least strain the airplane or motor"
His comments on the future of transoceanic
travel prove that he hasn't any illusions about
this phase Of the flying game.
"I do not predict that we will be crossing
the ocean in airplanes in regular passenger
service for a long time to come" he said 1T
just isn't feasible, that's all. There is always
certain factor to consider, and that Is the one
Of landing Flyers simply must have places TO
land, and it isn't safe to do so in the middle of
the ocean.
what is making the present flying increas-
ingly safe in this country, for example, is the
fact that so many airports are developing. You
can fly in any direction around the United
States and virtually in radius of every so or
400 miles find recognized airport for landing
Arctic flying has greater possibilities than
transoceanic service. AS they begin opening up
the Arctic territory airports can be established
in what are now considered waste lands. But
I do not see an immediate future for trans
Atlantic travel in regular airplanes-in flying
boats, perhaps. but even this mode of travel is
not particularly safe.
"MY interest in the future of flying is based
on greater speed. but high speed with
safety. would not favor nor predict the high
speeds do unless they could be accomplished
with complete safety. Landing a flying boat
safely on the high seas is questionable We
have enough serious steamship disasters now
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-12-07

without being too hopeful about airplane oceanic
travel.
IT do not in any way wish to belittle by what
have said the achievements of those able
flyers who have made successful transatlantic
flights admire them for it. Their work has
given impetus to aviation and they have per-
sonally distinguished themselves by their notable
work in this respect. What wish to convey
Is that 1t will take long, long time before q
regular service can be established for passenger
travel across the ocean that will include all the
elements Of safety"
Capt Hawks has been called the "playboy" of
the air. But any one who knows him and talks
to him will understand that daredeviltry is not
q part of his makeup The man who Is putting
the phrase speed mindedness" into the lexicon
of American speech is practical, level-headed,
businesslike. Perhaps it is his boyish smile his
perpetual seeming light-heartedness. his buoy
ancy Of spirit, coupled with the fact that he is
daily clocking of speed records that cause some
people to visualize him as simply q young ad-
venturer Of the skies.
He is that and more. He adventures for
reasons that are linked with the certain future
of aviation.
Hawks is always smiling" you will hear
every one who has met him say. But his smiles
are not those of an air "cut-up." They are the
outward signs of an equable temperament, good
nature. gracious attitude toward others. Capt
Hawks is about 80 years of age, married a
oioHu well SeC-up, ATTRACTIVE man.
When interviewed he was seated behind a big
mahogany desk of the Texas Co., of which he
Is aviation superintendent He wore a light
gray suit and a light blue tie, and the colors
accentuated his fair hair, his clear skin and
deepened the color of his eyes, He looked a
bit mcongruous seated behind the massive desk
little FESTIVE, as though he would rather take
to his wings and be of and away from the
solid furniture of great business corporation
even though its Office happens to be high up In
one OF New Yorks tallest skyscrapers.
This young speed pilot reflects the airplane
technician when he talks flying He speaks in
technical terms and unless one is familiar with
mechanics he is rather difficult to follow
through the mazes of Incline" and radical
motors, "streamlining" and other fiying-ship
terms.
g" THINK that in the future we are going to
see more development in the in-line
motor" he begins. There Is nothing against
the present type of motor except its frontal
area--the resistance that 1t offers In order to
get greater speed we must resort to either the
milne type of motor or the device of hiding
the present-type radial motor somewhere in the
airplane in order to do away with its resistance

Speed With Safety

Five Hundred miles an hour in
small flying craft will be common
place within the next ten years,
according to Capt. Frank M. Hawks,
who beat "Lindy'S" record for a
nonstop flight from Los Angeles
to New York.
Large planes, Carrying passengers,
express and mail, will average $50
miles an hour within the next dec
ade.
Arctic flying holds greater posi-
bilitieS than transoceanic air travel.
Establishment of airports all over
the United States is contributing
greatly to the advance of aviation
in America.
At present cruising around at 200
miles an hour is an altogether mod
crate pace for air travel. It is an
economical and sensible flying
speed for present-day planes.
Speed with safety is the prime
objective of aviation promoters to-
day.

later won a newspaper prize in the air trans
portation race for efficiency and speed at the
National Air Races in Spokane. He joined the
Texas Co. as superintendent of its aviation
division in December of 1927 and was one Of
the prize winners in the 1928 Ford reliability
tour.
year later he and Oscar Krubb q mechanic
established their transcontinental record, 10
hours 81 minutes SIS seconds, and less than five
months after that Hawks alone crossed the
country and back in SO hours 48 minutes. He
flew from New York to Los Angeles in 10 hours
10 minutes, and returned in II hours 80 min
uteS. Last April he was towed In a glider from
Los Angeles to New York.
Then undaunted by the fact that the Lind
berghs bettered his transcontinental mark by
several hours, he recently took his new Travelair
mystery plane and smashed all existing records
in both directions, Keeling of the $500 air miles

HE IS now In his thirteenth year Of flying
and flies plane numbered IS, which car

number, says:

Capt. Hawks has flown more than 10000
hours. and although he has had many thrilling
experiences has never used his parachute In
Mexico in 1922 the elevator wires of his plane

wrecked, but Hawks was unscratched
Recently it has been almost a daily matter

worlds record for time and distance
Last month Capt Hawks established new
record from New York City to Havana Cuba
making the trip in hours 81 minutes On
his return he bettered this mark covering the
1000 miles in hours AZ minutes
When the speed pilot last reeled of the 2.5oO

"On the next try expect to make real fast
