Teenaged pilot crosses country in small plane solo
A 15 year old Santa Rosa California boy Ron Cantrell flew solo across the United States in a prewar plane that he built with his mother in the family garage. He traveled with stops for fuel and food, awaited his mother's cross country arrival in Florida, and landed at Grand Bahama before returning to Washington where he met Congressman Don Clausen.
