MELBOURNE AIR RACE
AMERICAN COMPETITORS Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright. NEW YORK, January 23. Clyde Pangborn, the transpacific flyer, stated to-night that it was fairly certain that he would be entering for the London to Melbourne race. He would make a definite decision after testing his new monoplane, called the Flying Wing, designed by Clair Vance, a noted speed pilot. The piano is estimated to have a cruising speed of approximately 200 miles an hour, and a cruising radius of 2,000 miles. “My tentative plans call for a co-pilot, and we would fly night and day, stopping only for fuel. I estimate that we could complete the trip within fifty hours.” James Haizlip, at Marianna, Florida, stated that he had no definite plans yet, but he expected to reach a decision within a month.
