was scheduled for 1890 am. but
a 4O0-foot ceiling and poor visi-
bility postponed the start indefi-
nitely.
Several of the pilots, after an
explanation of weather condi-
tions by Marvin N. Hunter,
supervisor of aviation weather

and visibility increasing. Fur
ther south, however, the weather
was worse.
