The "Bombshell" plane took off from Adak in the outer Aleutians at 4:24 am PST (7:24 am EST) this morning after an unscheduled stop.

Reynolds said the plane turned back after passing over Adak because of heavy headwinds and because the plane's fuel supply was running low. Previous reports that he had been forced to turn back by "mechanical difficulties" were unfounded, Reynolds informed Frank Lamb, director of the flight, in New York by telephone. Edmonton is a little more than halfway along the 5,000 mile route from Adak to New York. Reynolds said he expected to make the trip in approximately eight hours. The manufacturer told Lamb he planned to be in New York "about 8 pm tonight." Northwest Airlines said the plane landed at Adak at 1:25 am PST (4:25 am EST) this morning, 9 hours and 1 minute after leaving Tokyo.
