Last week, Second Son Bruno. 19, whom his father has called an "idealist" (TIME, Oct.-n), reached less violently for laurels as he zoomed a tri-motor Savoia-Marchetti transport airplane over a 621 mi. (1,000 km.) closed circuit course breaking three speed records for planes carrying up to 4,409 (2,000 kg.) Ib. payload. His speed was 267 m.p.h., four miles faster than the previous record which he himself established last July. With him flew his flying instructor, Squadron-Commander Colonnello Attilio Biseo, who when in Rome acts as personal pilot to his pupil's father...
...announcement. With great satisfaction in a matter "particularly interesting," Berlin announced that Flight Captain Gerhard Nitschke, 32-year-old chief pilot of the Heinkel Airplane Works, had just flown a two-motored Heinkel-Benz airplane 621 miles, with a payload of 2,204 lb-(1,000 kg.) at a speed of 313 m.p.h.-46 m.p.h. faster than young Mussolini's record for the same weight at the same distance; leaving Bruno for the moment with only the 1,100 (500 kg.) and 4,409 lb. (2,000 kg.) payload marks. When the world press published these facts about supposedly...
...basins. Aft and below are mail and cargo holds, quarters for the crew of ten. Its four motors mounted on the wings are Wright "Cyclones," 1,000 h.p. each, which give the plane a range of 4,500 miles carrying a payload of 7,500 Ib. and a maximum speed of 200 m.p.h. At its cruising speed, around 150 m.p.h., the 3,465-mile flight to London would take about 23 hours, leave enough fuel for 1,000 miles more...
...tests Pilot William K. ("Ken") Ebel taxied the 63,000-lb. plane like a speed boat, sprinting, curving, cutting corners through Chesapeake Bay until spectators said they had never seen an airplane so roughly handled. Then for 17 minutes he flew through the air about 100 ft. above the water. In continuous two-way radio conversation with Designer Glenn Luther Martin-who under a company agreement may not fly-Pilot Ebel reported M.O.T.'s performance. "Stable as a brick," grinned Designer Martin...
...which exposes one, two or three words at a time to the reader through a narrow window. It trains the reader to extend his span to two words, cuts the fixation time. Because the words move out of sight as fast as they are read, it eliminates regressions. The speed of the machine is gradually increased to raise the reader's speed...
