FLIGHT ROUND THE WORLD
CLYDE PANGBORN PLANS TO REFUEL IN AIR (Received November 12, 10.35 p.m.) MONTREAL, November 11. Clyde Pangborn has announced that he expects to make a non-stop flight round the world next summer, starting and finishing at New York. He plans to refuel in the air with the aid of Russian bombing aeroplanes at Moscow, and in China, and also at additional emergency refuelling stations elsewhere. He has been promised the co-operation of Amtorg, a New York Russian trading agency, which will cut expenses. Mr Pangborn flew here to-day from Newark in a Brunelli transport machine, in which he expects to fly the Atlantic shortly to make a cold weather test of the aeroplane in a direct flight from Canada to England for the Canadian Car and Foundry Company, Ltd. The aeroplane is equipped with a new radio apparatus, the “Simon Radio Guide,” which permits the pilot to ascertain his bearings from any radio station.
