Lindberghs break speed record in high altitude flight
Charles Lindbergh and his wife set a record by flying from Los Angeles to New York in a Lockheed Sirius monoplane with one refuel, covering 14 hours 44 minutes 32 seconds at 14 000 to 15 500 feet. Mrs Lindbergh navigated, sometimes piloting, to prove faster express service in thinner air. Two notable aviation deaths occurred in the same era, Count Henri de la Va lis and three associates electrocuted in Jersey City. Major Lionel M Woolson and two crew died near Attica in a diesel-powered plane crash while transporting exhibition flight gear. Woolson designed motors for ships and aircraft and influenced many early aviation engines.
