CAIRO, Oct. 7.—(UP)—Col. j C. S. Irvine, Commander of tne U. S. Army Superfortress Pacusan Dreamboat, said today he believed a comercial version of I Rie Boeing B-29 could fly from London to Japan over the north

pole route in 28 hours.

Irvine explained the commercial possibilities of the polar route in an interview with the •' United Press. The Dreamboat landed here yesterday after a 10,854-mile non-stop flight over | the top of the world from Hono-1 I lulu in the record time of 39

' hours and 37 minutes.

‘‘It would appear to me,” Iivine said, ‘‘that the shortest | route — from the commercial] viewpoint- from London to Japan and other Far Eastern points is over the polar region. It should take 28 hours from London to Japan in a commercial

version of the B-29.”

(Military experts in Washington said, meanwhile, that the No. 1 lesson learned in the Dreamboat flight is that America is wide open to attack over the polar route. They expressed the belief that any future war would begin with a heavy guided-mis-sile bombardment followed by j long-range bomber attacks and i the dropping of hordes of air- j borne troops in key areas.) * “It can be said that we now know' engineering, navigation, ■ and commercial improvements I which will make regular flying—i both military and commercial—! n over the polar regions both safe I and practical,” Irvine said.! “This,” he said emphatically, j “was the purpose of the flight.” i Col. Irvine and his nine-man] crew set the Dreamboat down on Payne Field yesterday after flying over part of the Pacific,] Alaska. Canada, the magnetic polar area, Greenland, Iceland, the British Isles, Switzerland,) Italy and the Mediterranean. Extra fuel was consumed in high-altitude flying to avoid severe icing conditions. Otherwise, Col. Irvine said, the Dreamboat’ could have continued the flight] to Khartoum. Africa, 970 miles

farther south.

(Gen. Carl Spaatz, chief of the Army Air Forces, said in Washington that the flight was an epochal achievement in aeronautical history. He said the army had been proviaed with
