Ocean Flight of R-100 Bids Far for a Record
Aboard the airship R-100 the crew escaped a terrific storm while returning from Canada. Navigation lowered the ship to 1000 feet as dark clouds loomed and rain lashed the deck. Passengers praised the ship’s handling and reporters delayed, thinking they could assist by pumping petrol, which was later found to be a misstep with only a small amount of fuel lost. The R-100 continued toward Cardington with hopes of a record eastward crossing.
