ation immortally and their challenge
to the flying geniuses of the world's
greet nations by piloting their red
w:og monoplane nearly 5.3C 0 miles
on a nonstop flight from Moscow
across the top of the world to this
army post.
They landed here at 8.22 Sunday
miming because of poor visibility.
Chief Pilot ChekalofT said.
Their goal was San Francisco but
they made no excuses for not reach
ing it other than that flying condi
t. r, along the Pacific Coast made
t continuation of the fight impos
sible.
The plane was functioning in fine
shape, he said, and there is still
en ugh gasoline f r a flight of 750
males. The airline distance from
here to San Francisco is 502 miles.
