NORTH ATLANTIC FLIGHT
GERMAN AVIATORS’ SUCCESS. By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright. Halifax, August 25. Captain Von Gronau and his companions, who flew from Iceland, arrived here at 3 p.m. (local time) and immediately started refuelling preparatory to resuming their flight to New York. Canadian aviation authorities say Von Gronau’s flight seems to prove conclusively the feasibility of the North Atlantic air route as the one eventually to be adopted between Europe and America. A group of young English explorers, now in the Arctic, is gathering data with the intention of planning a route from Europe into central Canada, probably Winnipeg.
