Byrd avoids predicting outcome of upcoming transatlantic flight
Commander Richard E. Byrd told the Chicago Geographic Society he will not forecast success for the North Atlantic flight planned within six to eight weeks. He expects completion of the plane at Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey in two weeks and will not announce start dates from Roosevelt Field until then. He aims to aid aviation and cautions against overpromising results. If successful, he would next pursue the South Pole flight in the summer of next year with similar restraint.
