Train of Gliders Attaches to Plane Studies in Italy
In Milan an experimental train of a plane and glider is tested to cross the Alps from Zurich to Milan. Piloted by Robert Fretz and Willy Farmer, both Swiss, they fly to 13 500 feet, delivering mail by glider for the first time in history. Radio telephones kept contact during the 200 mile flight. The glider landed shortly after the plane, carrying packages and letters. Repetition of the experiment is planned.
