Show The Amazing Lindy Another epoch-making feat of aviation must be credited tQ Charles Char-les A. Lindbergh, who on Easter Sunday covered the distance of 2,530 miles between Los Angeles and New York in 14 hours, 4o minutes and 15 seconds, beating all previous prev-ious records nearly three hours. II was accompanied by Mrs. Lindbergh. Lind-bergh. One stop was made at Wichita, Kansas fv refuelling, which took 22 minutes. The average flying speed was 175 miles an hour, and the flight was made at unusually high altitudes of from 10,000 to 15.000 feet. While Lindbergh's latest accom-plistment accom-plistment does not compare in daring dar-ing with his great flight from New York to Paris which first brought him world acclaim, it again demonstrates dem-onstrates his undisputed right to the title of king of the air. If his fame rested solely upon his New York-Paris flight, it might be thought that he was merely lucky in performing a spectacular stunt. But his subsequent performances per-formances have been convincing of his consummate skill, which has been put to the severest tests time and again. |
