Curtiss Predicts Handley Seaplane Victory Reach St Johns
Glenn Curtiss stated the navy seaplane project to cross the Atlantic has a strong chance of success. He noted favorable winds toward the Azores could shorten a Trepassey Bay to Azores flight to about twenty hours, with economy speeds guiding fuel use and lower top speeds for efficiency.
