...Pilot Gromov, Co-Pilot Andrey Yumashev and Navigator Sergei Danilin climbed aboard their big, red-winged monoplane at Moscow's Schelkovo Airport. They had six tons of fuel, enough for 8,000 miles of flying. After taxiing more than a mile, the plane took off through a thin fog. Near the North Pole they encountered thick fog, flew blind for a long stretch, but passed the Soviet polar base 13 min. ahead of schedule, making about 100 m.p.h. On the "down" side they picked up radio communication with Anchorage (Alaska), Seattle and San Francisco, reported their position occasionally...
Goal was San Francisco, but fog shut in, the flyers grew exhausted, and finally they turned back from Eugene, Ore., landed at Pearson Field, the Army's air base at Vancouver, Wash. Bewhiskered, red-eyed and tottery, they stumbled from their plane, having covered about 5,288 miles in 63 hr., 17 min.-second longest flight in history* and one of the most important in charting an uncharted airway. The trio dragged themselves to the home of Brigadier General George C. Marshall, field commandant, drank his cognac, gobbled his breakfast, used his razor, then fell into his beds while...

High over the rolling mountains northeast of Burgos, a twin-motored Rightist plane dodged last week through thick patches of fog. It was far from any battle front. A young shepherd on a hillside idly watched it come out of the clouds. Few minutes later he stumbled excitedly into the little village of Briviesca. The plane had crashed into the mountainside.* Help was wanted...
Parnell (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) exhibits Clark Gable and Myrna Loy as Charles Parnell and Katie O'Shea in a screen version of the play by the late Elsie Schauffler (TIME, Nov. 25. 1935). As a cinema production, Parnell ranks high. Everything in it, from the London fog to the handles on the doors of Parliament, rebuilt life-size on a sound stage, is scrupulously authentic. As history, it ranks low, since it not only telescopes Parnell's career but also whitewashes it to suit the Hays office. As entertainment, it ranks in between. The screen play by John...
