SYDNEY-PERTH AIR RACE
EXCITING BATTLE WITH ELEMENTS
Australian Press Association.
Adelaide, October 2.
The flight of seventeen aeroplanes competing in the Sydney-Perth air race provided an exciting battle with the elements between Melbourne and Adelaide.
The Judges, owing to the non-arrival of a telegram showing the wind-speed and direction on which the handicaps were based, are unable to state who is now actually leading. Baker’s Klemm monoplane failed to reach Adelaide owing to strong winds, and has been eliminated. Major de Havilland, in a Moth, recorded the best time of actual flying speed to Adelaide, followed by Messrs. Heath and Miller.
