Army Air Corps Aims For First Pacific Crossing Flight
Washington reports the Army Air Corps races to cross the Pacific non stop from San Francisco to Gondulu in a giant tri motor Fokker. First Lieutenant Lester Maitland will pilot with Lieutenant Albert Hegenberger navigating as they test machines and instruments at San Diego before a July 15 departure from March Field. The mission, long planned, hinges on war department approval and carries no prize motive. Maitland recently completed a 6000 mile cross country flight with Assistant Secretary Davidson aboard. Hegenberger has led McCook Field navigation work for four years.
