kOchl Sends Message

Berlin, June 2G tP Captain Herman Koehl, who piloted the Bremen in the spring of 1928 on the first westward north Atlantic air plane crossing, has sent Captain Charles kingsford-S Smith a telegram felicitating him on completion of the second such flight.
 The fact that neither the South ern Cross nor the Bremen succeeded in making d nonstop flight to New York" said the message, lis evidence of the enormous difficulties beset- ting an east to west crossing of the Atlantic, the greatest of which are the terrific fog banks off Newfound- land"
 In an interview Captain Koehl pointed out the striking coincidence that Captain Kingsford Smith as well as he suffered from a sudden breakdown of his compass in that part of the Atlantic.
 T am convinced however that a nonstop flight from Europe 10 New York will be accomplished in the near future" he said.
