Flyer Seeks World Speed Record With Curtiss Racer
Lieut Alford Williams of the United States Navy challenges a six mile per minute pace after reaching 802.8 mph with a 2200 pound Curtiss racer. He plans a dive from 8090 feet and a potential six mile per minute run if a 9000 foot drop is possible. The craft measures 22 by 19 feet 8 inches by 8 feet 1 inch with radiators thinner than paper. The duraluminum propeller resists rain hail or tall grass and the cockpit’s cover opens automatically by a wire to drop the pilot free if needed.
