ITALIAN FLIGHT UNEQUALLED
NO OTHER AIR FORCE CAPABLE. ' ADVANTAGES OF THE MACHINES. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, July 17. No other air force in the world could equal the Italian flight just concluded at Chicago or assemble such a homogeneous force of large flying boats, says the aviation correspondent of the Daily Telegraph. Each one, fully loaded, weighs 11 tons and could carry an immense war or commercial load on a 500-mile flight and return without refuelling. Unlike the planes hitherto used in- Atlantic and other long-distance flights, they are not staggered at the take-off and unable to climb even a small hill in the first few hours. They flew at a height of 13,000 feet through an alpine pass.
