Mr John Grierson, who holds the light aeroplane India-England flight record, will fly to New York via Greenland early in August, solely by wireless direction-finding, in an aeroplane fitted with this device, which allows it to behave like a homing pigeon. The object of the flight is to prove the possibility of flying over the Arctic routes aided by direction wireless, even with bad visibility and erratic compasses.
