Robert Jr. is a practical politician, knows how all the wheels go 'round, the genial type who gains the personal liking of all who have to do with him.

A "flying grandstand"- an enormous plane fitted with luxurious chairs, glass panels through which journalists and race officials could see what was what-was forced down in a turnip field. On the second day, four remaining planes started round again. There were no Moths left now. Only the pompous Armstrong-Siddeley-Siskin, guided by Captain F. L.
