Established.
FELTS FIELD, SPOKANE,
Wash., Aug. 20. (yp) Nick
Mamcr and Art Walker, who
completed a trancontinental
non-stop refueling flight at 1:43
p. m. (P. C. T.) today, were
ordered to land at 6 o'clock to
night by the National Air Der
by association, sponsoring their
flight.
SPOKANK. Wash.. Aug. UU. A1)
The airplane. Spokane Sun (Jot!,
arrived over its home port at
today, completing the first trans
continental non-stop round trip
flight.
Thousands of persons cheered Pi
lots Nick Mainer and Art Vlker
as they flew over Foils field alter
making a refueling fliuht to New
York over a south route by way of
San Francisco and returning over a
northern route.
The plane had covered approxi
mate 72(M'0 miles and had been in
the air 115 hours and 45 minute
when It arrived here. When Mainer
and Walker would land was :st:ll
uncertain. Future plans were to
be discussed with sponsors of the
flight by means of messages ex
changed over Felts Held.
Ilesides being the first plane to
liave flown on a non-stop round
trip flight across the continent, the
Spokane Sun (!od set a new record
in covering 7-00 lineal miles with
out a stop. This broke the inter
national record of I'iti.'l miles made
by the Italian aviators, Fcrranuan
i and Do- Pretc, on a flight from
I Home to Ntal, Brazil. It also ex-
! cecik'd tin? non-ston mileage of tho
