Flyers Plan World Flight with Minimal Stops
Mattern and Griffin planned a globe spanning route from Ireland or Berlin to Siberia to Alaska and Edmonton before returning to Floyd Bennett field. The crew, 27 year old Mattern from Fort Worth and 83 year old Kiffin, secured funding from Henry Turner and John Habee and arranged fuel caches across Europe and Asia. Their takeoff depended on favorable weather as a weather bureau forecast supported the first leg and a time detector from the national aeronautical association would record the 192 hour flight.
