Mars Flying in Kansas a Start Made to City Flight
Mars driving the Curtiss biplane from Topeka toward Kansas City, with stops at Olathe and Lawrence, encountered engine trouble and narrow landings at Midland and Perry. A 7,000 prize lured the flight, but repeated motor problems slowed progress and a near Kaw River plunge occurred. The mission aims for Kansas City with Overland Park as a target, weather improving yet wind turning choppy. The report blends aviation trial with political notes on a constitutional debate and Taft speech contexts.
