With its crossing OF the northern
Pacific, the Winnie Mae takes a
place alongside the famous mono
plane Southern Cross for the dis
tinction OF having flown across
both oceans in long hops.
The Southern Gross flew from
Oakland. Calf, TO Australia In
three long jumps-Honolulu and
Suva being intermediate stops-in
1923 and later flew from Ireland to
Newfoundland with its same pilot,
Wing Commander Charles Kings
ford Smith.
The Winnie Mae made no ocean
flight comparable 10 the memorable
dash OF the Southern Gross from
Hawaii to Suva. 3.138 miles. but
It hoped over some 1000 miles OF
