The Bushmeyer-Muchmore crash, however; was not just another crash it was one of Fate's cruel tricks. More than any other stunt man has Henry Bushmeyer distinguished himself, yet his first serious accident, which later resulted in his death, was the result of no stunt, no feat of daring. Climbing aloft with Pilot Muchmore, in a 100-horsepower American Eagle biplane, Bushmeyer set out on a simple test flight; was equipped with no parachute.

At 1,500 feet the plane went into a flat spin; threw Pilot Muchmore heavily 4 SS trews Photo shows the Laird super-speed wing in which Frederick H.

ESCAPE-VENTS traveling on commercial missions. The Nyrba Air Lines provides an eight-day passenger service weekly between the United States and Buenos Aires, cutting steamer time almost a third. A total of lu8 passengers were carried over the entire system, an increase of 11 percent over the month of March.

During the same period, mail and express volume showed an increase of nine percent over the previous 30-day period and 102,000 miles were flown on perfect operating schedule. The Nyrba Air Lines recently completed a national tie-up with the Pennsylvania Railroad, the TAT-Maddux Air Line Railway and other American railroad systems providing direct rail-air service from all principal cities throughout the United States and Canada to the 16 countries served by the air line Through ticketing arrangements between these rail-air systems and the Nyrba Air Lines, it is expected, will facilitate greatly the directlm; of travel over the air route to the West Indies and South America. ALASKA TRAVEL CHEAP Airplane transportation in Alaska, already established, is due for a Of Air Liners Regular Service Is Seen as Assured by Fleet of Zeppelins Soon By FRED J. LANG Safely back at its home port in Friedrichshafen, the Graf Zeppelin has added another page to its long list of air achievements. Into the saga of its triumphs, the latest chapter to be written Is the completion of its voyage of more than 20,000 miles across three continentsthe South and North Atlantic and the Equator, with an operation record unequalled by any other ship of the air.

Departing on May 18 from Its home port with some 21 passengers) and crew of 42, and with many thousand pounds of freight and ex press, the dirigible arrived at Per- nambuco after a short stop at Se ville. The flight was the first time any dirigible had attempted a South Atlantic crossing and was closely watched by aviation leaders, because of its commercial significance, side trip to Rio de Janeiro followed after which the Graf headed north for Lakehurst, where it docked Sat urday, May 31. Gave Thrill to City Two days later it lifted its nose from the naval air station and after a special flight over New York City, an hour before midnight, which was one of the most spectacular ever made by the air fliant, h-aded r-it to sea on the last leg of its trl continental flight, arriving at Seville in slightly more than the 50 hours predicted by Dr. Hugo Eckener Except for the flight over New York, which received a tremendous ovation from the city's millions, the reception of the Graf in this conn try excited less comment than for mcrly. The reason for this may be attributed to but one thing.

Th' country has accepted its flights with nearly the same commonplace con cern accorded the transatlantic ocean liners. Under the skilled hands of Dr. Eckener, Captains Lehmann and Von Schiller, the "big news" of the Zop's flights now has changed from its arrival on schedule to its inability to meet its schedule. Some Favor Airplanes This resume of the flight is cited to show the efficiency with which the dirigible followed out its pre-announced schedule. Its friends point to it as an answer to those critics who still remain skeptical as to the practical use of llghter-than' air cialt.

The chief exception taken is its slow speed, for which reason the airplane is advanced as more practical. As the first commercial venture for the Graf, however, the latest trip was a success, a fact pointed out by officials connected with the flight. It will be followed with more than a dozen excursions from the home port to various parts of Europe within the next few months By next year It is expected that two new Zeppelin dirigibles will be completed for regular scheduled trans-Atlantic service to which will be added several more ships if the service proves itself. Public Opinion Tested This is a much more definite sched'. 'e for Unking the old and new worlds than any other aircraft has yet been able to offer, and is another argument for the protago nists of the dirigible.

To determine the attitude of the public as regards dirigible travel the writer asked a number of persons whether they would fly across the Atlantic in the Graf. Among them were elderly women, business men, young men and boys of high school age. Many of them had never flown before. The unanimous answer was affirmative. Asked the same question regarding a similar flight In an airplane a negative answer was given almost without exception.

Critics will note this attitude, since after all it is the public that will ride and pay for passage if llghter-than-air travel is to be made a commercial success. There is nlenty of room for both Itghter and heavlcr-than-air advocates in the new field. Bulfiur Moslems Strike For Daily Prayer Time Sofia, June 7 14 Because mine owners of southern Bulgaria refused to grant their Moslem workmen five half hours daily for prayer, the miners downed tools for an extended strike.

Victory In the National Balloon Race holds a three-fold lure to the rontcsting pilots who will attempt to sl.ovetheir gas-fllled bags to new cross-country distance records. From the winners in the American race will be chosen the team to epresent the United States in the international Gordon Bennett Balloon Race scheduled to start from Cleveland, Sept. 1. In addition to the spur of $3,300 in prize money, the contestants in the National Balloon Race will also strive to capture the Litchfield trophy which the National Aeronautic Association awards annually to the winner of this lighther-than-air classic. With many of the nation's leading aeronauts signtj up for the start, it is expected that this year race will be one cf the most hotly contested in American history.

Lt. T. G. W. Settle, this year, will defend the Litchfield trophy which he won for the Navy in the race at Pittsburgh in 1929.

His victory, last year, took the trophy from the Army whisch had capturedit in 1928 through the victory of Capt. W. E. Kepner. Though Capt.

Kepner has not entered the 1930 competition, his aide. Lt. William O. Eareckson. will attmeptto win honors for a civilian balloon, "The Aero Digest." Newest Model In Motor Gliders Sells for $650 Production has been started on a new type of motor glider for low priced consumption, it was announced yesterday by the Wing Aeronautical Company of New York, the company that will build the machines.

The 'Dragonfly." as It will be called, will be powered with a 35-horsepower motor and driven with a three-bladed propeller. It will be manufactured at the New Jersey factory of the company. A feature of the "Dragonfly." according to its designers, is a chrome nickel steel tubular fuselase which will serve as a tank for the fuel. Alfred Schwartz, president of the compnny and inventor of the motor and tank, says the new plane will be ready for commercial delivery in August, retailing at $050,000. The planes now under construction will be used for test purposes and display.

The "Dragonfly" will attain speed of 50 miles an hour and land at 10 miles an hour. Two German airmen have been engaged to supervise production, according to the announcement. They are Capt. Frederick A. Pippig and Lt.

Paul Klotpsrh, both war aces. Pippia constructed his first glider in 1908 at Leipzig, and in 19U9 bee. le an assistant to Orville Wright durog the latter's experimental flights in Berlin. Klotzsch was employed foi time with the Chance Vought organization as designer snd is credited with designing the Kutcher liual control cabin monoplane. New Boeing Plane The Watres bill, fixing the pay of air mail contractors on a space basis instead of poundage and paying a bonus for planes which carry passengers as well as mail, may influence the type of plane flown over the nation's air mail network.

The Boeing Airplane Company, which has supplied planes which carry half of the nation's air mail over six routes, has Just test flown the "Monomail," the first low-wing, all-metal, single-engined monoplane capable of carrying six passengers and more than 1,000 pounds of mail. This high speed ship has retractable landing gear, special engine cowling and other improvements to increase speed and is a distinctly new type of airplane in many particulars. A new type of construction gives static tests stronger than the engineer's stress analysis indicated. With smooth skin type of construction the design is clean. This new plane will be placed in.

service immediately upon the San Francisco-Chicago mail-passenger line for complete tests under diversified operating conditions. Business Men Purchase Planes The increasinj use of privately owned airplanes for commuting between summer homes and city offices is emphasized in recent sales of stand, re fleet ships to prominent Eastern business and professional men, Including Marshall Field 3d of Lloyds Neck, L. 1.. Dr. C.

K. Hughes of Philadelphia and Henry Berliner of Washington. Hughes, who has taken delivery on a seaplane equipped with Edo pontoons, will use it commuting between his summer place In the Adirondack? and his Philadelphia office. Mr. Berliner will use his ship a special sport model, for traveling between his Washington home and the Berliner-Joyce Aircraft Corporation at hogan Field, Baltimore, of which he is president.

Delivery of the Marshall Field plane was made recently from Buffalo to his pilot, Frank Sheltz. The owner will receive flying instructions at the New York City Airpoit, Flushing, where the plane will be kept until his private airport at Lloyd Neck is '-ted. Ogden Insi werby Route Harry Ogden, noted Army flier, who, with Lieut. Wade, flew around the world from Santa Monica, Cal. in 1924, is flying over the route of the All-America Flying Derby, at the controls of an Ogden Osprcy, a cabin monoplane equipped with three Cirrus motors.

With Mr. Ogden is Roy Cooper of Detroit, a member of the National Aeronautic Association and manager of the Derby for whlcl; American Cirrus Engines, a unit of Allied Motor Industries, has posted $25,000 in prize money. Besides pathfinding the course of the race, noting available spots for emergency landings and inspecting airports at the various points of control, the flfers are arranging for suitable assortments of spare parts and supplies of gasoline and oil at all the places where the racers will make official stops. The route of the race will be from Detroit on July 21 to Montreal, to New York, to Atlanta, Houston, Laredo, Monterey, Mexico City, Monterey. Laredo, El Paso, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, Cheyenne, Omaha, Chicago and Detroit.

Nyrba Establishes Record Establishing a new record for long-distance air passenger traffic since the inauguration of its serv ice, the New York, Rio Beunos Aires Lines, carried 153 passengers during April over their 7.500-mile route between North and South America, according to traffic reports made public recently. All but four of the 153 passengers were representatives of North or South American business houses and were was equivalent to 200 times around the earth. The present fleet of Boeing planes consists of 50 single-motored and trimotor transport planes, all equipped with 525-horsepower Hornet engines. The multimotored ships are used between San Francisco and Chicago on a 20-hour schedule a distance of 1,943 miles. The Los Angeles-Seattle hop of 1.100 miles is made in 11 hours During 1929 the system averaged a 95 percent operating schedule.

The Boeing System is a subsidiary of United Aircraft and Transport Corporation, which controls also Stout Airlines and National Air Trans-pert. It was founded by W. E. Boeing, chairman of the system, and is now headed by P. G.

Johnson, president, Air-minded American-, climbing into their seats on passenger airplanes that cross the English Chan nel from London to Brussels, Lon don to -Amsterdam and London to points east, are invariably Intrigued by a small tab suspended from the celling of plane: by the in struct on notice which reads "In case of emergency, pull this ring.1 Inquiring, air-minded travelers learn that all foreign passenger planes, scheduled for flights over waterways, are constructed with seamed ceilings. The seam is rein forced with special three-inch tape the end of is fastened to the emergency pull-ring. In the event of a forced landing in the sea. passengers may pull the ring, open the roof and crawl out safely; thus re duclng the danger of drowning. Not so fortunately fashioned was tho American plane which fell into the upper Hudson River this week.

Dropping from a low altitude, a large passenger plane nosed into the river, fortunately picked a shallow spot, landed, with its nose in the mud, its cockpit buried In water. Three frantic passengers, who floun dered in the water, kicked and bashed the sides and roof of the plane, and f.nally smashed their way to safety. They would have been grateful for European escape vents. JOY LINE This writer, in his "Reverting to Type" column, has attempted to "Bring Broadv to Brooklyn."

RATES Passenger companies, unable to fill their planes, who moan about the lack of air-mlndedness on the part of local travelers might better look a little deeper. To travel by plane in America requires more than a mere state of alr-minded-ness. The costs are out of all rea sonable proportion. In Europe, every one who is In a hurry travels by air, because air-travel costs but little more than rail travel, gets you there three times as quickly.

Traveling by air in America, costs far too much and lacks patronage for that reason. That Americans are air-minded has been proven on both coasts by the "penny a pound" air trip stunts undertaken in California and by the "dollar a trip" experiment made on Long Island's Holmes Airport. Air travel, now out of the adventure stage, continues an adventure in financing.

Italian Engine Makes Debut During the last quarter of a century, airplane engines have changed radically in design. One of the latest developments which departs abruptly from the usual is the Isotta Fraschlnl cantilever 1.100 horsepower motor displayed last month for the first time at the Air Show The weight of the entire engine Is 970 pounds, less than one pound per horsepower.

It has been used with great success in Italy on Savoia-Marchettl speed planes and is just making its debut in this country. Air Associates Has New Policy Air Associates, equipment and service company, in accordance with its advertised program for 1930, is liquidating airplanes on hand and concentrating its resources and management on merchandising and service at Roosevelt Field and the Chicago Municipal Airport.
