 Slightly more than Al hours after taking off from Samu- shirO Beach, Japan, PangbOrn and HerndOn set the big red mOnoplane down at the Muni- cipal Air Field at 7:14 o'clock this morning.
 The la n ding was made d0ubly dangerous because of the airmen dropping the land- ing gear socn after taking off from Japan. i The big ship was brought down to earth and the pro- pellor was smashed. HerndOn was cut over one eye. | Boys, we are glad to get here," was Pangborn's exclamation. ! Leaving the plane within a few minutes the men related how stormy weather over Western Washington during the last few hours of their flight endangered them and the plane circled Mount Rainier and the Western Cascades three times before finally getting their bear ings
 Plane Is Sighted
 The big crimson plane was first sighted at TOT o'clock this morn ing by large crowd viewing 1t as it circled about without landing gear. Within a few minutes a long spray of gasoline spilled from the tanks, the fliers letting it out for fear of fire on landing. | A hurried call for an ambulance was sent out. ! Slowly the plane settled to earth landing on it's belly and sliding slowly along in the dust and then tipping over on its nose before settling back to place and coming to rest. The propeller was smash ed. ~

 Pangborn and Herndon were shoeless but had woolen socks. They explained they had been in Japan so long i've are still going barefooted."
 Herndon said, Give me cigar cite"
 Pangborn added that they had lots of gas when they landed.

 The two men left the field at 7:50 o'clock going to the Cascadian Hotel to sleep.
 The fliers said they did not con- tinue further because the baro- graph was not functioning. They said they would get new pro- pellor and landing gear and ex- pected to leave for Texas in about ten days.
