Record Shattered by Army Monoplane Flight
In Los Angeles on January 4 a remarkable endurance and distance flight by the Question Mark set records. The crew landed at 2:07 p.m. after nearly a week aloft, with 150 hours 40 minutes and nearly 12,000 miles covered. Despite motor failures, Major Carl Spatz ordered a controlled landing after dumping excess gasoline. The feat challenges future military and commercial aviation and prompted leaders to foresee a new era in long-range flight.
