Missing Plane Wreckage Linked to Paris Flight across Atlantic
Wreckage found near the Amazon mouth is believed to be from the French airmen Saint Roman and M Mouneyres who departed from South Africa on May 5 for a crossing to South America. Tires on the landing gear match models issued for their aircraft. Their destination search yielded no results after Pernambuco. The finding suggests the aircraft may have failed over the Atlantic, amid competing French and American air efforts and naval conference talks in Geneva.
