NON-FLIGHT AIRPLANE VOYAGE Young Calif or nian De sires to Cross Conti nent Los Angeles, June 26.?Plans to attempt a non-stop airplane flight from the Pacific to the At- 1 lantic coast in the near future ! have been announced by David R. Davis, a wealthy young California j sportsman, and Eric Springer vet- j eran pilot of Europe and America, i The flight, if successful, not only I would prove epoch making as the j first of its kind, but probably would bring to America and to ah American machine, two of three most coveted aerial records? marks now held by foreign fiy- i ers. In completing the coast to coast flight, a distance by air line of ap proximately 2.50" miles, the rivers . would break the non-stop distance record of 1.940 miles, made by. Alcock and Brown in crossing the Atlantic shortly after the war. In dications are that a successful trip also would establish a new record for continuous flying, the present mark being 24 hours. 19 minutes. | 7 seconds, held in France. The third of the most coveted achieve ments of flyers?the record for straightaway speed ? probably would not be affected in a coast to coast flight. The plane in which the at tempt will be made is an especial ly constructed machine in which every modern mechanical appli ance tending to insure the success of the trip will be installed. Ev ery detail of it will be of American design and manufacture. Design ed by Donald W. Douglas it has been christened the "Cloudster." It will not ;>e particularly large, the wing spread being 56 feet, the length 55 feet and the height i feet. Many war planes were larg er. The tanks will curry S.vt gallons of gasoline for the 4"" horse pow er liberty engine. An instrument of special construction will en able the pilot to tell whether the plane is flying level, even though he is in a fog which makes the earth visible. Other instruments will register the gasoline consumption per hour the oil consumption, the direction and speed of the wind, the air speed and ground speed of tie machine and all other data useful to an aviator in attempting such a record breaking flight. Xhe plan<- has been completed for nearly two months. Its speed has been found to be dose to miles an hour as a maxim am. Present plans are to start the flight in July.
