transcontinental trip, Bhortly after
8:30 this morning.
"I won't be back this limp," he said
as he left.
The famous ace, nnroule to Wash

4 o'clock, but was forced back because
of the fog. He waited until the fog
lifted along the coast and then tools

REDWOOD CITY. May 2C Leav
ing here at 4:06 a. m. on a two-day
transcontinental flight, Captain Ed
die Rickenbacker, famous war ace
was confident of reaching Wash
ington tomorow night,
'U'll make it sure," were his part
ing words as he stepped Into his big
plane. i
"While there is a little fog over the
coast, I think that as soon as 1 cross
the divide I'll be all right."
As the giant ship took off the mo
tor roared and America's "ace of
aces" waved goodbye to a small grout
of people who came to see him off.
'While weather conditions here were
-.not as good as the pilot wished foi
it Is expected that after crossing the
Rockies the air conditions will br
much more favorable. Late reports
from Denver and points east said thn'
flying conditions were ideal.
Rickenbacker hopes to make Oman"

head winds may cut down his speer'
