Giving her the “gun” on the
third attempt and with a wave
of the hand to the throng lin
ing the beach, A. A. Shestakox,
chief pilot of the Russian plane
“Land of Soviet” took the air
at 8:11 o'clock yesterday morning
bound for Sitka.
Following two days of stormy
weather here Resurrection Bay
yesterday morning was calm and
placid; not a ripple disturbed the
waters. The sun was making a
valiant struggle to break thru
a chain of clouds enmeshing it
as if it desired to light and blaze
a warm path for the fliers.
Residents arose early yester
day morning and long, before
the Soviet fliers appeared at the
beach, as six o'clock where
a large number had gathered
being augmented as time flew by
until the takeoff when possibly
300 hundred people witnessed
the departure.
Hours were required to take
aff the canvas coverings which
covered vital parts of the big
air-bird, testing of pontoon hulls,
extracting about 50 gallons of
gasoline from the heavily-loaded
aircraft, stowing away dunnage,

Prior to making the first at

! the individual motors. Great
i sprays of water leaped high al
most to the cockpit, it seemed,
as the pilot stepped on the gas.
Of special note was the silence 1
of the motors for contrary to the 5
usual thunderous roars from 1
planes hitherto seen and heard
here, these motors gave up a;1
loud humming only; loud, of ]
course, but not nearly so as 5
older model planes. |(
At an altitutude of about 500 '
feet after, taking the air, headed '
northward and swung around to r
face the harbor entrance. The,
