turned via San Francisco.
“From Sun Francisco, it ciid not
fly directly to Fort Worht,” said
Montgomery. “It flew to the east
of Fort Worth and then returned.”
It was a Pearl Harbor day flight
that begun about 8 a.m. Dec. 7.
Built to carry 10,000 pounds of
bombs 10,000 miles, the super
bombers staggers the imagination
of the public and the men who fly
it. It’s us big as three five-roow
houses and it’s 67-foot tail is as
hight as a four-story building. It
has groaned into the air at its full
gross weight of 278.000 pounds. No
other plane ever toted such a load.
It amazing wings stretch 230
feet—almost the length of a foot
ball field—and they flap lazily in
flight. And the ’36 is so long—163
■feet, its crewmen use a little
' scooter on rails to zip from nose to
tail.
Six pusher engines shove the
superbomber along at better than
350 miles per hour.
! Hours before the air force made
its announcement, there were un
i confirmed reports of an historic
, flight.
But air officers over the nation
remained mum. Montgomery,
based at Offutt field, Omaha,
Neb., made the first announce
ment to the Associated Press in
Dallas today.
Montgomery happened to be in
i Fort Worht, and after several calls
from the <7P) and his own phone
1 check with Washington headquar
ters, he chuckled and said:
“I can’t tell you everything, but
I'll tell you what I can.”
The flight was not a record for
distance. In October, 1946, a navy
Lockheed Neptune patrol bomber
flew from Perth, Australia. ' i u
lumbus, Ohio, 11.236 miles.
The air forces hope to stretch
, the ’36’s bombing range to 12,000
miles.
