Red monoplane dash saves a sick baby in bold flight
Five month old Sue Trimmelt rode a red monoplane piloted by James Wedell 1496 miles from Houston to Baltimore in just over eleven hours. In Baltimore the infant was taken to Johns Hopkins for evaluation by Dr. Foul A. Kunkel, with Dr. Walter E. Dandy to decide on surgery for hydrocephalus. The journey crossed icy winds and severe weather as Wedell refueled at New Orleans and Atlantic City before heading to Baltimore. The governor and city officials welcomed the pilot upon arrival, and Washington was to receive Wedell after the Baltimore stop as the operation plan remained uncertain.
