TRANS-ATLANTIC FLIGHT
MOLLISON’S “HEART’S CONTENT.”
[BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.]
LONDON, July 26.
Mollison’s aeroplane, in which he, in mid-August, will endeavour to make a double trans-Atlantic flight, has been christened “Heart’s Content.” The De Haviland Company achieved a record in the construction of the machine under five weeks. Although it is a Puss Moth, nothing like it has ever been designed. It could almost be described as a flying petrol tin, everything being sacrificed for petrol space.
