BOMBING PLANES
 ARRIVE SAFELY

Pearl Harbor, Honolulu, Jan. B. (UP)-Twelve U. s. navy bombing planes roared over Honolulu at 6:2( 8. m. (PST) 9:20 EST today, com pleting the largest mass flight ir American naval history from Sar Diego in less than 9 hours. The first plane landed at 6:29 a. m. PST, and the other planes followed in rapid succession. The flyers were well comed by a party consisting solely of the families of the naval airmen who assembled near the Pearl Har- bor landing channel.
 The water was calm and the air was unusually quiet when the planes roared in through the moonlight circled over the harbor and then dropped in perfect formation at the end of their 2.500-mile nonstop flight. Wives and sweethearts of the aviators, some of whom were holding leis, rushed to greet the men when they came ashore after crews, wear ing bathing suits, swam out to att tach mooring gears to the planes L. E. True, aerologist, said that the wall" of bad weather through which the flyers came, was the worst re- ported in the area in years.
