AIRPLANE BUILT OF OLD PIECES PARTS OF WRECKED PLANES IN SOUTHERN CROSS Both Machines Formerly Used by George Wilklns; Three En gines All New NEWT YORK. June 1. AP) A craft made in part of the rem nants of two wrecked planes car ried the four-man crew "of the monoplane Southern Cross safely over the 2400 mile span from Oakland, Cat., to Honolulu. Tbe creation of this latest craft to force into the aviation limelight was explained oday by R. B. C. Noorduyn, vice president of the Fokker Aircraft corpora tion which redeemed the plane after several accidents in the early efforts of Captain George H. Wilkins to fly to the north pole. A single-engined transport mon oplane and a tri-motored mono plane which Wilkins had used, were dismantled in 1927 and shipped to Seattle where the Southern Cross came into being formed of the fuselage of the single motored craft and the wing and landing gear of the tri-motored plane. The motors were new. Tbe Southern Cross has thus seen extensive service in the air. Some of its parts were in the planes that made several flights in 1926 between Fairbanks and Point Barrow, Alaska, and on a plane that made two seven hun dred mile journeys over the arc tic wastes from Point Barrow. Since the plane was rebuilt three unsuccessful attempts were made to break the world endurance rec ord. PLAN FOR CHAUTAUQUS Rev. W. N.
