Trials to win $100,000 for the safest plane extant began at Mitchel Field, L. I., last week. The Daniel Guggenheim Fund for the Promotion of Aeronautics provided the prize money, and an additional $10,000 for each of the first five planes to qualify in the contest. Entries must register before Oct. 3. Until last week only a dozen were listed as competitors. Six were U. S. makes...
...purpose of the Guggenheim Fund contest is to get a plane not merely safe in skilled hands, but foolproof under all kinds of conditions. Such a plane must be able to land slowly, take off quickly, climb steeply, glide either at flat or steep angles and remain under control at all speeds and altitudes, even though weather conditions prevent the pilot keeping on even keel...
Hence prize contestants must fly level at no faster than 35 m.p.h., get a variable speed in normal flight of 45 m.p.h. to 100 m.p.h., glide three minutes at 38 m.p.h. with engine shut off, land within a 100-ft. space, take off in 300 ft., gain more than 35 ft. altitude within 500 ft. of starting takeoff, and fly "hands off." A manufacturer's pilot may put the plane through its best maneuvers. Guggenheim Fund pilots then try the plane themselves...

He is a Don Juan with a Russian soul. He has a Conscience that must burble out in a confession of his imposture to the first passing peasant. After a glorious triumph on the head of that imposture (presentation to the "future" Queen of France of Leon Daudet's royalists); after a royal hunt in which he stabs the stag and thrills all the ladies, Molinoff...
