This Is q city which tests men, E"

I shall carry into the tomorrow OF

BEN KING FLIES
TOE|GHTH RECORD
Averages 74.84 M.P.H. in
439 Plane Over 500.
KiIQmeter Course.

Ben King, Washington sportsman
pilot, laid claim to his eighth world
flying record yesterday after he few
his 439-pound Aeronca land plane
over a 50O-kilometer course at an
average speed of 7484 miles per hour.
Taking of from Langley Field. Va,
at GIL am, he few five times over
q 100-kilometer course from the Army
field to Barretts Point, at the inter-
section Of the James and Chicka-
lominy Rivers, a distance of $40 miles
for the entire flight.
The mark was the first ever set
for land planes of less than 40 pounds
over 500-kilometer course, ships OF
that weight having difnculty In carry
ing enough gasoline to cover the dis
tance.
King was forced TO strip his plane
and install additional fuel tanks in
order to come within the category.
The night was supervised by Ma
than r. Scudder, ofi1cial timer for
the Federation Aeronautique Inter-
rationale and the National Aeronau-
tic Association. Scudder forwarded
Kings Paragraph to the National
Bureau of Standards for ofncial cali
bration.
King said the flight was one OF
the "bumpiest" he has ever made,
explaining that strong cross winds
and gusts made it difiicult to remain
on the course.
Last Friday King took the same
plane aloft 1900 feet to better by
some 2,000 feet the altitude record
now held by France. { Kings record
will not be Official, however, until the
barograph Is calibrated.
HIS other six records were made
in seaplanes.
