QUIET When ta HOTEL Ocean Flights By JOSEPH W. LaBINE d In New York a his led prize fight announcer audience in prayer. Throughout America one hundred million minds were focused on some vague spot over the briny At- W hard-boile- lantic where Charles A. Lindbergh was piloting his "Spirit of St. Louis" to Paris and fame. That was in 1927, only 11 years ago. A few days ago another transatlantic flight ended and only a few hundred people bothered to read about it. Of more than 50 such trips being planned this summer, only two are attracting much attention, those of Howard Hughes and Douglas Corrigan, the "mistake" flier. The ocean flight that made people hold their breath a decade ago has now become commonplace, and rightly so. This does not dim the accomplishment of Lindbergh; it merely means that trans- oceanic aviation has grown up, that science has begun to capitalize on its carefully planned program of conquering the Atlantic. The Hughes trip was but a forerunner of this summer's transatlanseries of tic travel, a journeys that will keep the waves humming for weeks to come. The airships of four nations are flying from Europe to New York over different routes in a series of "survey" flights. Great Britain started things off a few weeks ago when the Merplane, cury, unique soared away from the mother ship, Maia, over Foynes, Ireland. The Mercury landed at Montreal 22 k hours later. Takeoff Load Problem. This composite ship has attracted more attention than any aviation development in recent years. British engineers worked on the theory that a ship can fly easily carrying excess weight but it can't take off with much extra load. Especially is this true of seaplanes, which are held down by suction of the water on their pontoons. So the Maia and the Mercury, locked together, rise from the airport as a single unit and separate in mid-aiThe Maia is a land ship, the Mercury a seaplane. Flying a different route from the Azores to New York the Germans are working with three seaplanes, Nordwind, Nordmeer and The ships belong to Deutsche Lufthansa and are making 14 round trips this year preparatory to starting regular transatlantic mail service.
