AERONAUTICS: Following the Sun

This solitary flight will also be an encouragement to Lieutenant Maughan, who is preparing to fly unaccompanied from New York to San Francisco in a modified racing airplane. Twenty hours of daylight, following the sun, will be more than sufficient to cover the intervening 2,670 miles, and give time for refuelling, as the machine will fly at a sustained speed of 160 miles an hour.
