DETECTIVE MAKES MIDNIGHT
FLIGHT TO CAPTURE SUSPECT
Detroit Lieutenant Dashes to New York
for Man Wanted in Staying of
Radio Announcer.

A secret midnight air dash from De-
troit to New York in radio-equipped
tri-motor airplane recently enabled
Lieut.. John Hoffman of the Detroit de-
tective department to capture man
badly wanted in connection with the
murder of Jerry Buckley, Detroit radio
announcer.
Lieut.. Hoffman stepped up to his
quarry in a Bronx bank just IL hours
after he had received a Tip" in De-
troit that the man he sought was pre-
pairing to flee to Italy. The plane rlde
from Detroit had taken five and one
quarters hours The journey by train
would have required IA hours. IL was
one of the most spectacular cases on
record of the use of the airplane IN
traMxsng down suspected criminals.
IN speeding Lieut. Hoffman from De-
troit to New York, Myron E. Zeiler,
pilot. charted his course by radio bea-
cons over the fog-hidden peaks OF the
PENNSYLVANIA mountains. He also utll-
tied the beacon flashes to locate Hadiey
Field, New Jersey, the Eastern terminus
of the transcontinental air mail route,
where police cars were waiting TO rush
his passenger to New York.
Lieut.. Hoffman, with Commissioner OF
Police Wilcox, reached the airport at
Dearborn, Mich, at midnight, deter
mined that if the airplane could CIR.
cumvent it, the man they sought woulo
not fee the United States. The plane
took of at once and Lieut.. HOFFMAN
settled back In a cabin seat 10 sleep
during the ride to New York.
A bright moon was shining when the
plane left Detroit. The pilot easily Ioi-
lowed the lake shore into CleVelano.
From that point on to New YORK
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-08-24

the radio beacons blazed the course.
The first hints that the balance Of the
journey over the treacherous Pennsyl-
vania mountains was to be through bad
flying weather came as the plane was
passing Brookville, Pa, when the pilot
spun the dial of his radio set to pick
no the Bellefonte beacon. A growing
haze was apparent and the lower val
legs were fast filling with fog.
BY the time the plane had passed
Bellefonte, Pa, only the peaks of the
mountains rose above the gray fog, and
only the airway beacons on the highest
peaks were visible. The plane was
flying at 1000 feet, safely above the
peaks At it passed s;unbury, Pa, the
first low clouds heralding a ground fog
appeared and from that point on the
pilot few above solid cloud bank
without a glimpse of the earth until
Metuchen, N. j., was reached.
Then the signals in his earphones
warned him he had passed Hadley
Field to the north of the course. The
pilot hunted a hole in the fog, dove
down through it and few south seeking
the field. Then by flying a course
circling the beacon and noting the
changes in the signals as he crossed the
course zones, the pilot was able to To-
cate the field, even though 1t was
shrouded with fog and to fnd his way
safely to the ground.
Lieut.. Hoffman climbed out OF the
plane, rushed to New York and q few
hours later ran down his quarry. New
York papers reported, following the
spectacular arrest, that the suspect
could have safely eluded the police and
escaped by steamship without the use
of an airplane in the man hunt.

The pilots received an average MONTH
ly base pay Of $189, but this was in

tons under which the flying was con-
Quoted and depended upon day or night
schedules. The additional amounts
averaged cents a mile for day flying
and 10 cents for night flying.
The highest monthly salary was $3.50.
This was paid by one line to its airmail

ators included in the survey paid

DEVELOP AIRPLANE
LANDING LIGHTS

Airplane wing landing lights that re-
duce resistance to the smooth flow Of
air over the wing surface have been
developed.
Two of the new lights, one placed In
the leading edge Of the port wing and
the other In the leading edge Of the
starboard wing, complete the installa-
ton, and each unit is designed to con-
form to the exact shape of the wings,
thus offering no parasitic resistance to
the air flow, regardless of the, direc-
ton of the searchlight beam. The
lights are so placed that there is no
reflection from the propellers, and they
are completely housed in q dust-tight,
weatherproof compartment.
A special glass cover that is unusu-
ally strong, but is highly efficient as
light tranSmitter, shuts the search
light lamps in the compartment. The
reflector Is made of a highly polished
parabolic mirror with q silvered back.
Each lamp Is rated at 420 watts, II
volts and IS amperes, using a storage
battery or generator for the electrical
supply. The operating mechanism Is
so arranged that the searchlight beam
Is comfortable by the pilot in fight
through an angle of 90 degrees from
straight ahead to vertically downward.
