NKW YOltK. Al' A pilot
since- ho hh 17. Capt. Dieudonne
Coflte will dare tho dangera of tho
Atlantic in the mont difficult feat
or his l!i yeaiH of flying.
The French war ace plans lo fly
westward rum Paris to New York,
a project that has cost many lives
and In which he himself failed last
year.
Success will climax a flyins
career that had its beginning
when Louis Ulerlot made tint first
flight across thu Kuglish channel
in I'.mi'.i and fired the auibitiou of
('oste, a 1 G-y ear-old enft peering
student, to become an aviator.
Ho won his pilot's license a year
later, but the war sent him Into
the conflict whore ho accounted
for fivo enemy ships and seven
balloons.
An international hero, his fame
rests on exploits in the last four
years, starling In when (.'apt.
Iliguot ami he set a world's dis
tance record in a 't,:tl3-milo non
stop flight f rem' I'arls into .Persia.
Jjito tho next year, with Joseph
,ebrix, he. started an aerial odys
sey from Paris down the west
coast of Africa, across the South
Atlantic lo South America nnd
eventually through North Amerlea,
Asia and Kurope. Kxcepl for cros
sing tho Pacific by ship the round-the-world
tour was made In flight.
Jast year, with Maurice Bcllontc,
he attempted the Paris-New York
flight, but turned back west of the
Azores and landed after flying 3,
luo miles. Head winds had forced
them back.
Two world record performances
followed, a non-stop flight ot 4,
1MS.69 miles to Manchuria nnd a
closed circuit record of 4.U87 miles
in 62 hours.
Spurred by'tho arrangemonis of
tlapt. Kingford-Smith, 'Australian
war ace, to fly from Ireland to
Now York, Coate has hurried test
nights on his tii-motorcd ship to
race tho Australian across thu
ocean.
There havo been no successful
heavier.thau-alr craft flights
across the North Atlantic from
continent to continent In a wester
ly direction without slop. Tho
liremen's flight began In Ireland
and ended at Qrcenlcy island.
