SAN PIEGO, Calif., Mar. 31.
Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh soon
will fly a new monoplane duplicat
ing in essential respects the Spirit
of St. Louis.
In this plane he will be able to
carry four passengers with a far
greater degree of visibility than his
famous trans-Atlantic plane per
mits. Colonel Lindbergh will be the
first to test-fly his new plane, now
Hearing completion here. He was
the first and only man to pilot the
Spirit of St. Louis. One should
not think him foolhardy In this.
He Is a scientist and wishes to
learn first-hand what to expect
from a flying machine.
Made for Night Tript
In flying his new pinna the
colonel also will test several new
features embodied in It. Primarily,
the plane Is built for night flying.
That Is, It Is so equipped that Col
onel Lindbergh can use It for long
night trips.
Three types of lights have been
provided for this purpose. First,
ordinary running lights have been
installed. These warn any other
planes in the air of the presence
or this particular chip.
Second. landing lights are hidden
in the leading edce of the wing
near the tips. Controls from the
pilot's cabin permit these to be
opened when landing at nleht.
When lighted they throw a
strong light on the field ahead and
permit the plane to advance much

Flares Add Safety
! Third, magnesium flares havo
been Installed. Theso nro located
In tho floor of the fuselage about
midway between tho nose and tail.
Colonel Lindbergh controls the re
lease of these from his place for-1
ward. I
j The value of theso flares may
! be visualized readily. Suppose the
colonel were flying at night and
wished to land at some spot where
no lights were provided. By re
leasing one of these flares at, s:v. ,
a Bnoo-foot elevation, the light
would spread brilliantly over an
area of 10 square miles. These
.lights descend beneath parachutes,
, which open automatically when tho
flare drops from tho plane.
In addition to these litrhts. oth
er new developments embodied In
this plane include brakes on the
wheels, a flight indlrntor. a com
bination electric Inertia starter and
a skid for the tall In which has
been Installed a wheel.
