Aviation BEAL AVIATION LESSON TAUGHT BY SKY DERBY Pilots Cover 150,000 Miles With Stock Equipment; No Serious Mishaps. i'.}/ Times Special NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—Fiftythree pilots flying from Long Island in the transcontinental derby crossed the United States in September without serious mishap. A 'ew more started, but were forced down by one accident or another. The average flying time of the ' hree classes that have completed iheir courses was about twenty-six hours for the 3,000 miles or more. These pilots flew 150,000 miles ever the wildest sort of flying country, with stock equipment that can be purchased in and delivered from ray one of a dozen aviation centers. without a serious mishap. The average time for a large number of ships, including those with the lower horse power motors, is faster than it ever was before. There are a number of significant facts in these events. One man thinks that they teach one thing and another something else. All agree, however, that they indicate. as nothing else has indicated since Lindbergh flew to Paris, the advance in aviation in this country, i All along the course at the seven- | ten control stations crowds of thou- i sands gathered to greet the racers as they came in and to cheer them at the take-off. This interest stimulated the pilots themselves more than the prospect of winning the large purses—nearly SIOO,OOO in prize money, counting the lap prizes and trophies—though many of the pilots have struggled along on little enough in the hard, lean years in aviation following the war. Several of the pilots could have

sold their planes before the race was over. Those not in the race who flew to Los Angeles have sold theirs and have taken orders for more back to the factories. The serving of the planes and the equally important entertainment for the airmen at various airports along the way were better than they had been before. Many of the cities and towns have devloped their airports in the last year and equipped them with machine shops and fuel stations and restaurants.

At El Paso, not only the participants in the races, but others who happened along by air, found complete service for their planes, cars to carry them to the hotels, airway bulletins- and weather reports and maps of the routes with emergency fields marked along the way. What was true of El Paso was true of Terre Haute, Kansas City, Amarillo, Oklahoma City and Yuma. Eddie Ballaugh changed a cylinder in his Wright motor at Oklahoma City and put an entirely new engin* in his ship at Yuma, and still was able to finish the race among the leaders. The service fields along the route, with one or two exceptions, helped the fliers on their way with skilled mechanical aid and efficient service. The pilots on the transcontinental races average about 110 or 115 miles an hour for the 3,000 miles against head winds.

Airman Goes to Fair Charles Thompson, Huntington, W. Va., who landed at Hoosier airport, Sunday in his Travel Air biplane, left today'for Greensburg to carry passengers during the county fair. Flies to Louisville Howard B. Ruff, Department of Commerce aviation inspector for this district, took off from Hoosier airport Tuesday in his Whirlwind Travel Air biplane for Louisville after spending two days here. Pilot Goes Back Home Bill Hunt, pilot of the tiny "Lone Eagle" biplane, forced out of the transcontinental air race by carburetor trouble a week ago, was to leave today for his home at Moundsville, W. Va. Hunt’s plane.
