a grander east-to-west crossing of the Northern Atlantic than that of the German-Irish flyers (Koehl and Fitzmaurice), who in 1928 were rather lucky in finding the Labrador island, Greenly. In personality Lindbergh and Kingsford Smith have little in common, but both have the “will to victory” in the air, and both have made history.

A Japanese Consular official in San Francisco forecasts a trans-Pacific airship (Zeppelin) service between Japan and the United States.
