Endurance Flight Pushes Jackson and O Brine Toward Record
Dale Jackson and Forest O Brine circled the Greater St Louis monoplane at Lambert Field for 534 hours aiming to surpass the 553 hour world endurance refueling record held by the Hunter brothers. The two aviators stayed aloft at 1000 feet as cold air prompted gear adjustments and two coats were lowered from the refuel plane. If they remain airborne at 8:53 a.m. and 9:53 a.m. the following day, a new mark could be set, while the present record would be equaled if they land after 8:53.
