...Transatlantic mail service offers a great opportunity for American enterprise. For this purpose we must make it possible to pick up burdens on the wing, in order that a plane could start on its trip across the Atlantic with a full load of baggage and comparatively light supply of fuel.

Much of the charge of duck shot entered his head, neck and chest, wounding him severely, particularly in the right eye. In spite of his wounds however, he was able to get himself to the railroad station, and from there to Boston. Since then he has been improving under the care...
