Pacific Flight Progress From Honolulu To Mist Islands
The Southern Cross flies toward the Mist Islands at about a hundred miles per hour as observers track its Pacific crossing. Gr Allen Hancock of Los Angeles funds the flight and the craft uses three engines for speed and endurance. Australian war veterans pilot the plane, with navigation and intermediate landfalls as the key concern. A battery failure on the prior leg caused brief alarm but land was found before the fuel line ran dry. If the leg to the final destination is completed, aviation may gain valuable lessons and public interest.
