An Associated Press report describes Russell Boardman and John Polando failing to rise above 100 feet during a non stop attempt to Istanbul, dumping 450 gallons of gasoline in Jamada Bay to avert disaster.

Hugh Herndon Jr and Clyde Pangborn prepared for a round world run from Floyd Bennett Airport with 750 gallons aboard, aiming for 850 to Moscow if weather allows, otherwise Harbor Grace. Their weather briefing and plan to depart the next morning were noted with contingencies for fuel and route.
