CLYDE PANGBORN
ANNOUNCED HOP
PARIS END JULY
Announced Couple of Weeks Ago That
He would Fly Around World. Plans
Appear to be Changed at present
(By The Associated Press)
NEW YORK, July 7, — Clyde Pangborn today an
nounced details of a projected New York to Paris flight
to be made late this month.
He said the hop would be made in a Wasp-power
ed, single motor, cabin plane without fuselage—the tail
being held on by two booms. It is known as the “flying
wing” and was built by the late Claire Vance, Oakland,
California mail pilot. Pangborn5
arrived here from Dallas, Texas,
I
yesterday.
He said he plans short flights
from Paris carrying messages to
Spain, England and Holland for
their recognition of the Texas
Centennial Exposition, celebrat
ing Texan independence a cen
tury ago.
When questioned further Pang
born declared he had no intention
of attempting to set a trans-At
lantic speed record. He figures
the flight will require about
thirty hours. The plane will car
ry no radio sending apparatus.
Formerly Planned Non-Stop Hop
Around the World
About two weeks ago it was
announced Pangborn would at
tempt a non-stop flight around
the world, re-fueling in the air,
when he flew his flying wing
from Burbank, California, to Dal
las, Texas.
The announcement today that
he ihtends only making a trans
Atlantic hop and then short trips
to European countries indicates
a change in plans.
Also Hopped Pacific
In company with Hugh Hern
don, Clyde Pangborn was the
first and only flier to make the
Pacific Ocean flight non-stop
from Japan to Wenatchee, Wash
ington. They are the only two
to have flown non-stop across
both the Atlantic and Pacific oc
eans.
