 Yankee Built Plane Amazes
 The performance of the Ameri.1 can built Douglas, however. re- mained the real sensation of the race. Rain storms that reduced visibility to almost nothing caused it to land at Albury. 190 miles northeast of Melbourne.

 It went on to Laverton Airdrome. 16 miles away, where the crew checked in. They were too tired out to make speeches there. Back at Melbourne second pilot, Moli. speaking for the exhausted chler pilot, Parmentier. said:
 Everything was wonderful un- til the storm hit us on the last part. We would not have minded one storm, but we could not cope with a series of them. Our arrival at Remington was the greatest mo- ment of my life"
 Half an hour before the Neth- erlands plane arrived. Turner and Pangbon left Bourke for their final 515 mile flight, after losing an hour and 20 minutes.
