He accepted the position, turned over his business affairs to his parti-e- r and went to work. The first step was to get twenty-fiv- e Omaha business men to back the project for $1,000 each. This was easily done. It was also easy to get the Indorsement of all Omaha business and social organizations. A speakers bureau was formed to educate the citizens. Arrangements to raise funds for financing the congress were made. Attention was then turned to the preparation of a program worthy of the occasion. Incidentally It became necessary to provide a landing field large enough to stage the program. A little thing like this, however, did not deter the air men, who located a farm of 130 acres showing possibilities as a field, although It was uneven and contained 150 large trees. A "field day" was duly announced, and the air men and their friends rolled up their sleeves and with the assistance of two Holt caterpillar tractors donated for the occasion, pulled the trees and leveled the land. An open drainage ditch traversed the center of the field, which lies on the edge of one of the residence districts, only fifteen minutes' ride from the heart of Omaha. The city council was Induced to vote unanimously to build a covered sewer through the field at a cost of $21,000. So the problem of a flying field was satisfactorily solved. In the meantime, an office force was busy mailing thousands of Invitations and pamphlets to the air men and celebrities, such as President Harding, Marshal Foeh, Orvtlle Wright, Glenn Curtlss and Judge K. M. Landls. The graduates of Fort Omaha balloon school, the center of America's wartime ballooning, were Invited for their first reunion. Squadrons and escadrilles of flyers were asked to hold their first American aces reunions In Omaha. The fifty-tw- o were Invited, as well as everyone else Interested In aviation. The aid of Kansas City was enlisted In sending the American Legion convention delegates on to Omaha. The Indorsements of national headquarters of the American Legion, of the Aero Club of America, of the World's Board of Aeronautical Commissioners and of the Aircraft Manufacturers' of Association were obtained. The the Army and Navy air headquarters was asked for and received. The railroads helped out by offering a fare and a half rate for the round trip from all parts of the country to Omaha. Outzon Borglum, world famed sculptor, offered a commemorative medal design symbolical of the work of the American air man during the war, as his "bit." James llanley, song writer of New York, wrote a special song praising the work of the flyers, to be sung for the first time at the congress. In preparing Its program, Omaha had a piece of rare good luck right at the outset Aa everyone knows, the Pulitzer Trophy Ilaee became the world's most famous air event with Its first running In November of 1020 at Mltchel Field. New York, under the auspices of the Aero Crab of America. There were tweaty-flArmy, eight Navy, seven Marine Corps and one civilian entrants in the contest The winner was Lieut C of the Army air service, who flew 132 C Moaely Vervllle-Packard machine at an average mites in a' speed of 178 miles an hour. The Army won seven of the first ten places In the contest and the Navy two. There were 80,000 spectators. Including celeb-rttlfrom all walks of life. Well, the Pulitzer Trophy Itace for 1921 had been scheduled for Detroit but difficulties had arisen and the Aero Club of America had cancelled the race for the year. Omaha stepped In and offered the necessary funds. In consequence, the first announcement on the program Is this: "The Flrat International Aero Congress announces the second annual aerial contest for the Pulitzer Trovhy. in connection with the first cotv v es with state officials. made this week. The schedule will not be made public until the return of Mr. Kelly from the east which will be within a few days It was said.
