Notable aviation altitude records and disputable joint title
The report notes elation over a new world record by a flyer, then Howard Ge Mayes Jr. matching the altitude on a later flight, but the aviation association declined to recognize his 18 year old pilot’s ascent as a joint world record, since it did not exceed the previous mark by 654 feet. Mayes finished as national junior champion in his class while the Atlanta Crackers led the Southern Association pennant race.
