...flight was the first accomplished this season, and the first North Atlantic crossing ever made by a French plane, a Bernard monoplane named Yellow Bird, with a null motor. A 160-lb. stowaway, one Arthur Schreiber, 22. traveled in it, to the hazard of the crew and the handicapping of the flight...
...last week's short flight the gasoline engine and its fuel would have been slightly lighter than Packard's diesel and its oil. On longer flights with more gallons of fuel needed the diesel combination would obviously be the lighter.

The details of such a plane, I believe, we should leave to the aeronautical engineers. I have no definite ideas as to the arrangement...
