Odom Plans Round
World Polar Flight
OAKLAND, Calif. </P) — Bill
Odom, who spends a lot of his
time trying to set odd flying rec
ords, has a couple more in mind.
First, he wants another crack at
a non-stop, light plane record
from Honolulu to New York. And
after that a round-the-world jun
ket, via the poles, in a four-engine
plane.
Odom, who got only as far as
Oakland last Jan. 31 when he
made his first try at the Honolulu
New York hop, arrived back in
Oakland yesterday. He is shipping
his Beachcraft plane, disassem
bled, to Hawaii Thursday. He has
installed new gasoline tanks for
longer range.
The round-the-world flight he
has in mind would be made in a
transport version of the four-en
gined Liberator bomber. Odom
said he was planning to fly via
Anchorage, the North Pole, Paris.
New Zealand, the South Pole,
South America and back to his
Oakland starting point, a distance
of 28,000 miles.
Odom has set no date for the
polar flight, nor did he say who
was backing it.
