Mark of 647 Hours in Air at St. Louis Never Officially Recognized. Bu Bcrippg.ffntcard Vetetpaver Altinnee WASHINGTON, Jan. 1. Dale Jackson and Forrest O’Brine, holders of the world endurance record, don't hold the record at all, it became known here today. Their mark of 647 hours 29 minutes of continuous flight, set last July and August at St. Louis, never has been officially recognized and perhaps never will be. Although there is no question that Jackson and O’Brine actually stayed up that long, recognition of the record has been held up because the formal report on the flight was made out improperly. Thus, as far as the National Aeronautic Association and the Federation Aeronautique Internationale are concerned, the world endurance record belongs to the Hunter brothers of Chicago, who stayed up 553 hours 41 minutes 30 seconds last June and July. N. A. A. officials at headquarters here today admitted that the record had never been recognized.
