Up, up, up he circled on rising air currents, while hundreds of faces turned up at him from the ground. Pilots of motored planes swing far off their courses to avoid thunderheads...
...week's end Soarer du Pont, who is president of the Soaring Society, was declared U. S. champion for 1937, having earned 182 points. For a climb to 5,890 ft. he was awarded a gold trophy and $500 prize offered by his airminded father, Vice President A. Felix du Pont of E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. In points.
