Flights & Flyers

For Traveling. E. Hamilton Lee, Boeing air mail pilot, last week logged his 1,250,000th flying mile. He is the first flyer to travel so far. Last week he was 37 1/2 years old. If he had walked four miles every hour since he was two and able to romp, not yet would he have trod 1,250,000 miles. 170 Passengers, greatest air load ever, flew for 100 miles over Lake Constance, Switzerland, on a trial flight of the 12-motored Dornier DO-X. Football Specials. Colonial Air Transport last week decided to operate special planes to Boston and New Haven for big football games there. Great Lakes Aircraft at Cleveland decided to send at least one plane to Ohio State University's major games at Columbus.
