Transport: Pride of Poland

For their record in world competition, Poland may well be proud of her flying sons. Month ago Polish flyers finished first and second in the fourth international air race for sporting planes, beating a field of 31 planes over a 5,900-mi. course through nine European countries. Last week, in the 22nd annual James Gordon Bennett balloon race at Warsaw, Polish flyers took not only the first two places, but the third as well. Winning balloon drifted 830 mi. to Ryazan, U. S. S. R. Chief excitement of the race was furnished by over-zealous Soviet frontier guards who fired at several of the balloons, hit none.
