ZEPHYR PLANE.
EASILY CHANGED
TO WAR BOMBER
Air Cruiser Speed 260
Miles Per Hour

NEW YORK, Sept. 3 QN.S0
A new super transport plane, con-
vertible overnight into full-rigged
and armored battle bomber, has
passed final tests and will soon be
used in regular passenger service
by Northwest AirlineS, according
to announcement by officials here.
Rated by the Department OF
Commerce as the fastest trans
port in the world" the new ship,
called the "Sky Zephyr" in tests
established its cruising speed at
230 miles an hour and, over a
measured course, was clicked at a
speed Of $50 miles an hour. 1t
has a cruising range Of 1000 miles.
In addition, the Zephyr took off
on only one of its twin $50 horse
power motors, and-still flying on
a single motor-attained speed
of 1855 miles an hour and climbed
to an altitude of $4,000 feet.
SUITABLE FOR WAR USE
Dimensions of this new-fledged
ship, the first of Northwest's
Zephyr fleet of eight-are identi-
cal throughout for peacetime pas
senger transport or death dealing
bomber.
In peace: A twin-motored, 300
miles-an-hour, mid-Wing m o n o.
plane, accommodating 10 passen.
gers in luxury and a 2,500-pound
cargo load, and manned by a crew
Of three, including hostess.
In war: A winged weapon Of
humiliation, briStling with six
rapid fire .3O-caliber machine guns,
and a choice Of Cd three LOO
pound demolition bombs (2) five
600-pound demolition bombs, 90
10 300-pound demolition or frag-
mentation bombs, or 90 80 100
pound augmentation bombS-and
a crew Of four.
HAS UNIQUE ADAPTABHITY
The Zephyr, a Lockheed "a" is
the only plane of its convertible
design in existence on the anyways
of the United States. It has unique
adaptability and lethal effective
ness an an instrument of national
defense, and embodieS numerous
radical departures from conven-
tional airplane construction.
The deeply rounded, projecting
nose has volume of 80. cubic feet,
ample for baggage and air express
in peace time and for q revolving
turret, two .30-caliber guns, and a
man behind them, in the event Of
war use.
An alternate forward gun ar
rangement also has been designed
for the same ship. This COM
priseS three .30-caliber guns mount
ed rigidly in the nose, thus leaving
the fllSelage contour unbroken and
adding IL miles an hour to the
bomber's speed. The guns may be
operated by triggers on the con-
trol wheels Of both pilot and CO.
pilot.
There is q rear gun turret
accommodating a .30-caliber flex-
ible machine gun, with the same
maaAmum maneuverability Of the
forward rapid-firing piece.
In the event of attack from be-
low. 80 caliber machine gun is
mounted in the belly of the fuse
lage. just forward Of the main
cabin door, and is manned by the
bombardier. This gun has a lateral
traverse Of over $50 degrees and
