Conquest of Atlantic Air-Lanes Next Goal of Modern Sky Liners

n XEA Service FLASHING wings and droning motors have conquered the Pacific. Now for the Atlantic! Within two years, possibly before that, regular commercial service planes will be winging across the North Atlantic. Next spring and summer a series of test flights is planned. Now the purpo.se of the daring “stunt flights" of the last 15 years, their justification, is revealed. The desperate dash of Alcock and Brown in 1919, and Commander Read in the NC-4 the same year; Lindbergh's superb flight in 1927, wdth those of Chamberlin, Byrd and all the others who followed him—the method in their madness is now clear. Safe, regular commercial flight is to settle into the grooves they marked. The Atlantic sea lanes must be international affairs. So the actual opening of service has had to wait while international relationships were adjusted and while other countries concerned are building ships like the American Clippers which conquered the Pacific. Conferences to iron out details of port rights and airmail subsidies have pust been completed. a tt tt THERE are two principal air routes across the North Atlantic. One is a direct jump from Montreal up over Newfoundland and straight across, non-stop, to an Irish port, probably Cobh or Londonderry. That is an oversea hop of just under 2000 miles. The clippers do 400 more than that on their regular schedule to Haw'aii. A variation of this route goes north across Greenland, Iceland, and the Faroe islands, as surveyed by Lindbergh in 1933. It is longer, but the overwater jumps are shorter. The other route lies to the south, and assures better weather in winter. It follows the present route to Bermuda, a British island, where extensive improvements in the airport are already under way. Thence it jumps to the Azores, a Portuguese group off the Spanish peninsula. This is a 2000-mile overwater ATTENDANCE OFFICERS ELECT NEW LEADERS Mrs. Elizabeth Tyre. Is President; Meet in State House. Mrs. Elizabeth Tyre today is president of the James Whitcomb Riley Group of Attendance Officers, elected Wednesday at a meeting in the State House. Robert O. Brown was chosen vice president and Miss Virginia Hampton, secretary-treas-urer. The group is comprised of attendance officers from Boone, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, Johnson, Marion, Morgan and Shelby counties. The principle speaker was Dr. E. R. Bartlett of De Pauw r University. Mrs. Eleanore White, Shelbyville, is retiring president.

hop, but it is still shorter than the Pacific Clippers are already making. From the Azores to the European mainland is only a 1000mile jaunt. American ports for this route would probably include Charleston. 8. C„ and Norfolk, Va„ and a “spur” line between Puerto Rico and Bermuda is authorized. a a m '“pHE two routes might be combined, using the northern one in the summer, the southern in winter. But the southern route, making some 4500 miles from New York

to London as compared with about 3000 by the Great Circle direct course, takes longer and saves less time in comparison with four-day trips now being made by the fastest liners. The time will be close to 40 hours at first, while Glenn L. Martin, American designer, envisions an eventual 20-hour schedule, using 50-ton, Diesel-driven craft carrying 12 tons of pay-load. That is as much pay-load as the weight, unloaded, of the present Pacific Clippers. Experimental flights next year, beginning about March 15 and

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES'

continuing until October over the northern route, will probably use the present American Clipper ships. After October, similar tests will be made over the southern route. But by the time actual operation of the lines begins with four weekly flights, there will be. further innovations. fTHHE British, while they have no planes suitable for the Atlantic run ready at the moment, have not been idle. Imperial Airways, which is expected to co-op-erate with Pan-American in the

new venture, has tw r o new types of ship on order. One is a huge “sleeper” seaplane much like the Pacific Clippers. But the other is an- departure. It is the Mayo “c nposite aircraft.” The Mayo invent! m consists of a large four-engined monoplane flying boat equipped to carry on its back a much smaller and very heavily loaded four-engined float seaplane. Power of all eignt engines is used in the takeoff. The combination climbs to about 5000 feet, and then the two planes are separated, the ’’mother ship” returning to base, and the sea-

plane continuing the ocean crossing. The idea here is to enable the seaplane to take off with a much heavier load of fuel, freight, and passengers than she could safely lift off the water alone. Probably the Mayo stunt will be tried first with mail and freight only. a a IN fact, first-year operation of such a line might ignore passengers entirely, figuring on highpremium mail and a government subsidy for support. Postmaster General James A. Farley has said he would ask Con-

gress this winter for an appropria- j tion of more than a million dollars for such subsidy. Other nations interested, such as the Germans with their Lufthansa, or the French and Dutch, both of whom operate long world air services, may participate in the Atlantic sendee. Present ; agreements with the British will not prevent later similar arrangements with other countries if desired. Seventeen years after Alcock and Brown blazed the trail, and less than 10 after Lingbergh illuminated it, the promise of their pioneering comes true!
