Record Flight Height Exceeds Eight Miles in Navy Stunt
Léont Soucek of the U S Navy sets a record by reaching 43 166 feet using compressed oxygen and an engine supercharger. Capt Hawthorne Gray previously rose to 42 470 feet in a balloon but died from oxygen deprivation in the rarefied air. The piece notes extreme cold and challenges of oxygen supply in high altitude flight. It also includes a tangential anecdote about a stenographer learning her grandfather’s title company would offer a one inch by eighteen foot strip of land at high nuisance value and Manhattan real estate prices per square foot rise with population.
