POST STARTED LIFE IN
SMALL OKLAHOMA CITY

(By The Associated Press)
OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug. 15, — From a modest farm
near Maysville, Oklahoma, Post rose to become one of the
world’s greatest fliers. Not satisfied with making the fast
est time around the globe, be pushed on to new achieve
ments in the stratosphere.
Wiley Post had early ambitions to become a pilot and
these were not stopped by an accident in a machine shop
several years ago which cost him the sight of one of his eyes.
He learned to fly and became a parachute jumper in a
flying circus. After barnstorming for three years he settled
down and became the personal pilot of F. C. Hall, wealthy
independent oil operator, who later became his backer in
the flights which brought Post and the Winnie Mae world
fame and renown.
(By The Associated Press)
SEATTLE, Aug. 16, —This is Post’s second crash in
Alaska—the other occurring on his second round the
world trip when he was forced to land at Flat, Alaska. He
was not hurt and succeeded in repairing the plane and con
tinued the flight, after being delayed less than a day.
It was known that Post planned to continue this flight
to Siberia after touching at Barrow and Nome. Whether
Rogers was going was unknown. Rogers said on leaving
Fairbanks last night that he had not decided. Post had not
determined his route after the Barrow flight, although he
had made inquiries concerning airplane landing fields in
Western Alaska and Siberia.

Post And Rogers
Fairbanks Aug. 12
(Continued From Page One)
from Moscow to San Francisco, Rog
ers said:
‘The little Russian is a sittin’
there.”
Rogers will visit the federal col
onization project and possibly fly to
Nome. He has not announced that
he intends to go to Russia with Post.
The famous humorist said he was
just bumming around.
The Fairbanks Chamber of Com
merce has appointed a committee to
confer with the distinguished visi
tors to learn what they prefer to
see and do while here.
Typifies Recent Developments
The Lockheed Orion-Sirius low
wing plane flown by Post typifies
recent developments in aircraft de
sign according to Fairbanks pilots.
The 550-horsepower H-Wasp mo
tor has a supercharger enabling the
power plant to operate efficiently at
high altitudes and the automatic con
trollable pitch propeller is designed
for service at all altitudes. As the
plane climbs into thinner air the
pitch of the blades becomes greater,
allowing even speed to be maintain
ed.
Plane’s Cruising Speed
Pacific Alaska Airway* pilots stat
ed that the ship has a cruising speed
of about 125 miles per hour. They
said that the maximum speed might
be 180 miles per hour and that with
wheel landing gear in place of pon
toons, the plane might have a max
imum speed of more than 200 miles
per hour.
The aircraft is a beautiful ship. It
is red striped with silver, and the
silvery appearance of the 3-bladed
propeller and pontoons combined
with graceful lines contribute to its
attractive appearance.
Left Los Angeles July 31
Post in his plane took off from
Los Angeles Wednesday, July 31st.
He was accompanied by Mrs. Post.
After reaching Seattle Mrs. Post
concluded not to come farther north.
At Seattle, Post was joined by Rog
ers. They took off from Seattle last
Wednesday forenoon and arrived
that evening in Juneau. They re
mained there until early Friday af-;
ternoon when they went to Dawson.
Post is scheduled to fly to Moscow,
Russia, by way of Nome, Bering \
Straits and Siberia. He is making
a survey of a possible aerial route
between the United States and Rus
sia. On returning to Los Angeles
from Russia he may lay his course
by way of Western Europe, the At
lantic ocean and transcontinental
United States.
Rogers Never Here Before
Rogers has never been in Alaska
before. Post has been in Fairbanks J
on three previous occasions. He j
was here the first time in June, 1931,
when he and Harold Catty were en
route in Post’s plane the Winnie
Mae, on their flight around the
world, New York to New York.
Their time for that flight was 8 days
15 hours 51 minutes.
Post was here the second time
in July, 1933, when he was on his
solo flight around the world. New
York to New York. His time for1
that flight was 7 days, 18 hours, 49% j
seconds.
He was here subsequently on a j
hunting trip, being the guest of
Aviator Joseph E. Crosson of this
city.
Idol of Movie Goers

born at Oologah, Indian Territory,
