WICHITA, Kan, Aug. 6.-Captain
Frank Hawks arrived at the Wichita
airport at 1888, central standard
time, today in his race across the
continent against time.
Hawks took off from Roosevelt
field, New York, this morning and
made the hop to Wichita, from st.
Louis, leaving the latter point at
9:31 a. m.
His cruising speed was about 18O
miles an hour from New York, out
he expects to better his time from
here to Los Angeles as he has been
melting had winds.
The f1ier paused ocl.y long enough
to refuel and flew westward again
at HAS a. m.
IA Hours, 21 Minutes
The present transcontinental
speed record is held by Colonel and
Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh, who
flew from Los Angeles to New York
last Easter with one stop in fourteen
hours and twenty-one minutes.
Lieutenant Colonel Roscoe Turner
holds the nonstop speed mark
from east to west, which is eighteen
hours and forty minutes. Hawks
himself possesses the nonstop record
in the opposite direction.
Hawks hopes to lower Turner's
time on the present trip. After
reaching Los Angeles he will re-
main a few days and then start
back east on a flight which he hopes
will break the Lindbergh record.
Wants All Time Mark
Hawks hopes to make the present
trip in less time than any previous
crossing of the continent by air.
He will make further stops en-
route to Los Angeles, Albuquerque,
N. M, and Kingman, Ariz.
Weather reports indicated that
the chances were in his favor for a
speedy trip.
His new Travel-Air monoplane is
powered with a 300-horSe power
motor, capable of top speed of
$50 miles an hour.
Hawks expects to make the trip
west in fifteen hours and the return
trip in twelve.
