London reports Prime Minister Winston Churchill personally piloted portions of a 74 passenger flying boat that carried him back from the United States and Canada. Commander J C Kelly Rogers noted the voyage was uneventful with passengers playing cards and Churchill occasionally at the controls. The air ministry said Churchill used a private cabin aboard the craft and provided progress reports, landing 12 minutes early with Churchill remarking the craft differed from his 1913 plane. U S planes escorted the first part of the journey.
