...Pacific Ocean was finally crossed nonstop by an airplane last week, the feat caused barely more excitement than many of the attempts and untoward incidents preceding it. Manhattan evening papers considered it far less important than that day's World Series game. Even the "hardluck flyers," Socialite Hugh Herndon Jr. and oldtime Barnstormer Clyde Pangborn, flyers of two oceans, seemed to sense an anticlimax when they skidded their wheelless Bellanca monoplane into the airport at Wenatchee, Wash., 41 hr. after taking off from Samishiro Beach, 280 mi. north of Tokyo. Their troubles on the flight had been less than...
...fast-moving scenes. It is probably because the piece is advertised as "Dickensy" that most of the players overact atrociously.

"Particularly." soothed Britain's Viscount Cecil of Chelwood, "as Mr. Yoshizawa assures us that Japan...
When it had nearly run out of excuses for refusing a Pacific flight permit to Hugh Herndon Jr. and Clyde Pangborn, the Japanese Aviation Bureau protested last fortnight that the application had been before it for only two weeks. This was true, although the flyers' plea had made international conversation since their arrest six weeks ago for violating Japanese aviation laws (TIME, Aug. 17). Then the officials said they were afraid that the permit would be taken as a "precedent" by future offenders. Next, they suggested that the flyers wait until spring for the flight; but they would...
