ALTITUDE RECORD.
BRITISH ATTACK PREPARING. Orelved 12 noon.) LONDON, February 15. A single seater Bristol Bulldog, specially equipped with a super-charged device, is being prepared for an attack on the Italian airman Donati's altitude record of 38,802 ft. The pilot will wear electrically-heated clothing and will also be supplied with - oxygen, as he may become unconscious at a great height. The machine will be constructed to enable it to fly on a level keel and to glide slowly earthward until the pilot recovers sufficiently to regain his control. —(A. and N.Z. and Sydney "Sun.")
