Kingsford Smith Plane: Searchers Cling to Hope in Bay of Bengal
Desperate aerial searchers for Sir Charles Kingsford Smith refused to abandon hope after nearly two days of the flight from England to Australia. Kingsford Smith's plane could stay afloat if forced down, with co pilot Tom Pethybridge, near the Bay of Bengal where they were last seen amid a monsoon. Royal Air Force planes searched the waters north toward the Siamese frontier as another squadron stood by for aid. C James Melrose abandoned his own Australia flight to join the search, following the pilots’ route over the bay.
